Comments and Recommendations for Regulations under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
We the under-signed join the Education Law Center and Juvenile Law Center to urge the Department of Education to consider the proposed revisions to the regulations which would: create a specific exception to FERPA requirements by authorizing child welfare professionals to access education records; eliminate barriers to information sharing and facilitate data collection at the aggregate level; and ensure access to education records by surrogate parents appointed to represent children in foster care under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Foster youth deserve better than to have their schooling delayed by outdated rules. Fix this now.
THESE KIDS ARE FALLING BEHIND BECAUSE OF PAPERWORK. JUST LET THE SOCIAL WORKERS DO THEIR JOBS.
