The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by CPTC in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement personnel and health staff); the federal Department of Defense; the federal Department of Veteran’s Affairs; clinical sites; Clinical Placements Northwest; a person or company with whom CPTC has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; a volunteer or others performing institutional functions; a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
