Lesson Overview

12.2 – Key Definitions Under FERPA: FERPA’s main terms describe what counts as an “education record,” who qualifies as an “eligible student,” and what “personally identifiable information” really means. These definitions matter because they determine what information is confidential and who can access it legally. Knowing the difference between directory data and protected records helps schools apply privacy correctly instead of by guesswork. For example, a student’s grades or disciplinary file are protected, but a class roster may not be. Terms like “disclosure,” “consent,” and “legitimate educational interest” shape daily decisions in offices, classrooms, and digital platforms. Mastering this vocabulary gives educators confidence and consistency in handling student data. FERPA is built on these precise words; understanding them ensures both compliance and integrity. Clear language leads to fewer mistakes, stronger policies, and safer learning environments.
