Student Records

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) afford parents and students over 18 years of age certain rights with respect to student educational records.

The parent/student may review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the school receives a written request for access indicating the records he/she wishes access to. The principal will make the necessary arrangements and notify the parent/student of the time and place where the records may be reviewed.

The parent/student may request amendments to the education records if he/she believes there are inaccuracies within 14 days. He/she must submit, in writing, the part of the record he/she wants changed and provide proper documentation to prove the inaccuracy. All documentation will be reviewed, and amendments approved, by a school administrator.

FERPA requires that, with certain exceptions, your written consent be obtained prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the student's records. If you do not want NLCA to disclose information from your student's records without your prior written consent, you must notify the office in writing within 3 weeks of the student's enrollment of each school year.

Record Retention

All student records are retained according to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission regulations. Elementary and middle school records will be destroyed after a 7-year retention period, and high school records will be permanently retained. The records for withdrawn students are kept for 2 years.

Disciplinary records are not ordinarily retained as a part of the student's cumulative record.

Material in each student's cumulative file is confidential and shall be accessible only by permission of the school administrator or principal.

Information on the student's permanent record will be given out to the following:

1. To the parents and students upon request of the parents.

2. To prospective employers upon receipt of parent/student authorization.

• To colleges, universities and military services upon the parent/student's request.

• To police by parental permission or by warrant or court order (Parents will be notified).
