Which right is guaranteed under FERPA?

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) ensures that students and their parents have the right to access and review their educational records. This includes the right to request amendments to those records if they believe that the information is inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their privacy rights. This aspect of FERPA empowers stakeholders to maintain the integrity and accuracy of educational information, making it a vital component of student rights within the educational system.

The other options do not align with the provisions of FERPA. For instance, there is no provision that grants unlimited access to the curriculum itself; educational records refer specifically to documents related to a student’s academic performance. Similarly, the act does not allow for the alteration of grades without school-based procedures and approvals, nor does it grant the right to determine teacher assignments, as these are managed by school administration and not dictated by individual students or parents.
