Enacted in 1974 and amended seven times since then, FERPA protects the privacy interests of parents and students by restricting the unwarranted disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records. Noncompliance with FERPA can result in the loss of Federal education funds. With parental consent, educators can disclose information from a juvenile's education record at any time. Absent parental consent, FERPA authorizes disclosure only under specified circumstances. The chart ·on the back of this Fact Sheet provides a handy summary of situations in which disclosure can be made.
