Repeal: redundant and unnecessary regulation.
Action 1509
 
General Information
Action Summary This regulation should be repealed because the requirements are unnecessary. The Regulations Governing Management of the Student’s Scholastic Record, 8 VAC 20-150, require local school divisions to adhere to provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA regulations, at 34 CFR § 99.21 and § 99.22, require that school divisions provide a hearing when the parent or eligible student wants to challenge information in the student’s educational record. FERPA also includes the process that must be followed. Since school divisions are required to adhere to the board’s regulation and to FERPA, this regulation is redundant and unnecessary.
