Her email stated:

“ The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, enacted in 1974, also protects the privacy of student information. To be clear, Fairfax County Public Schools is not permitted by law to collect the immigration status of our students or their families.”

FERPA does not prohibit the collection of immigration status; rather, it governs the disclosure of such information once it is collected. While FERPA ensures the privacy of student records and prohibits their release without consent, it does not restrict schools from gathering information about a student’s immigration status for educational purposes such providing services like language support or determining eligibility for state or federal programs. The focus of FERPA is on protecting the privacy of this information, not on restricting its collection.

Additionally, FERPA ***allows for the disclosure of student records to law enforcement agencies*** in certain situations, which could include immigration authorities.

Of note too is that Reid had a massive FERPA issue last year when the records for all of the IEP/504 students were released. I don’t think she should be reminding anyone about FERPa for a while.

Well said.

Thank you to this PP.

+1 another idiotic word salad email…blech.

It was just reminding people that the schools don’t collect information on immigration status, so there’s no way for the schools to know who’s here legally and who’s not, and therefore no data on that to turn over to the feds. Those are just the facts.

Yeah, the schools aren’t doing a good job of knowing who is actually residing in a particular pyramid and therefore should go to the school in their actual boundary.

Yep, just ask Hayfield.

This criticism will be interpreted as insubordination by policy makers and damage professional relationships with those implementing new directives.

Beyond its weird political implications, the phrase is just strange. Parents need clear statements rather than abstract language that’s oddly religious.

I agree. It’s poking the hornets nest. And sounds quite pretentious.

Also in agreement. Reminds me of the sanctimonious, "Democracy Dies in Darkness" garbage.

I wonder why she feels it is necessary to state FCPS is following the law. Shouldn’t that be a given?

I hope that she will list these employees by name and title so that we could cross check their salaries. Public information.

I guarantee that DEI-affiliated employees make a shockingly large salary compared to teaching staff.

While some of you celebrate what’s going on as a win, here's a little dose of reality. There are students in FCPS now telling their teachers and counselors that they will kill themselves if they get deported to a country they have never lived in/do not remember living in. Regardless of whether you feel that those kids and their families “deserve” this, the teachers and counselors now have to divert time and resources to dealing with the kids who are now in crisis. Not only does this lead to more teachers and counselors wanting to quit, but it also means less time and resources for your kid. And no, it doesn’t matter whose fault this is. Your kid will suffer either way. I hope you’re happy.

There have been a steady stream of kids showing up from the border over the last 4 years. They've been taking up time and resources from American kids for a long time. There is no way they're walking here from Central America and other far flung places without experiencing and seeing significant trauma along the way. Especially for the girls. All of this requires support.

This.

And those of you wringing your hands over it need to get a grip. She literally reiterated that they are following the law and they want schools to be safe for kids.

What is so offensive about that? You can unsubscribe from News You Choose if it hurts your fee fees
