Parental Requests: FERPA assigns rights to students once they reach 18 years of age or enroll at a postsecondary institution.

Spousal Requests: FERPA privacy and disclosure rights are assigned to the student. The spouse cannot authorize release of non-directory information contained in the student’s education records.

Deceased Students: Pickford Public Schools will not release educational record information of deceased students for 25 years after their death unless authorized by the executor/executrix of the deceased student’s estate. Proof of death and relationship to the deceased is also required.

Release to a Third Party: Pickford Public Schools does not release educational records from other institutions to third parties. Students are directed to contact the originating institution for copies.

Educational Institution Requests: Requests for release of student academic records by other educational institutions will not be processed without a signed release from the student.

E-mail Requests: FERPA requires a student’s written permission and signature to release academic records. E-mail requests will not be honored.
