FERPA gives parents the right to request what regarding their child's records?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that safeguards the privacy of students' education records and grants rights to parents. One key provision of FERPA allows parents to request the correction of information in their child's education records if they believe that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or violates the student's rights. This means that if a parent notices incorrect grades, outdated personal information, or anything misrepresentative of their child, they have the right to formally request a change to ensure their child's records reflect true and accurate information.

The other options do not align with the rights granted under FERPA. Access to all school policies isn't a part of what FERPA covers; instead, it focuses specifically on educational records. Similarly, while parents can request changes to their child’s records, they do not have an inherent right to copies of all correspondence related to their child or to determine classroom placements, as decisions about classroom assignments are generally based on broader educational policies and practices rather than individual parental requests.
