BenefitsLegal issues concerning pupil records arise on a daily basis in a variety of contexts, often leaving school administrators under pressure to make split-second decisions regardless of the legal ramifications. Among many others, schools may face pupil records dilemmas such as:
1. Expelled student claims she was wrongfully disciplined and takes her case to the media. The media asks the school for documentation to support the expulsion and respond to student's claims of wrongful discipline. Can the school defend its decision?
2. Local newspaper asks for a list of students in the top 5 percent of their class for an upcoming article. Do you provide the information and if so, do you need parental consent? What if the request was for the bottom 5 percent?
3. Student has been injured in an auto accident and litigation ensues. The party opposing the student's claim for damages subpoenas the student's records. How do you respond?
4. Estranged father calls from out of state and requests a copy of his child's pupil records? Do you give them to him?
