[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, in summary, no - [b]the school didn't actually violate FERPA la[/b]ws, and the parties involved were trying to smear the school with lies while covering up a string of violent assaults.

Lovely.

Well, there's another anti-charter hit piece that backfired.[/quote]

Don't be too hasty in deciding this.

Seems to me the Department of Ed already decided it's not a violation.  Here's their guidance:

http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/students.html

"a school may non-consensually disclose personally identifiable information from education records:

...to any third party the final results of a disciplinary proceeding related to a crime of violence or non-forcible sex offense if the student who is the alleged perpetrator is found to have violated the school's rules or policies. The disclosure of the final results only includes: the name of the alleged perpetrator, the violation committed, and any sanction imposed against the alleged perpetrator. The disclosure must not include the name of any other student, including a victim or witness, without the written consent of that other student."[/quote]
