Cheerleaders Score Sheets Is a parent entitled to a copy of the scoring sheets from her daughters cheerleading tryouts at her high school?
A parent is entitled to a copy of all “education records” that are directly related to a student and maintained by a public school under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). Those regulations are in Chapter 99 of Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations. What it means to be an “education record” under FERPA is less clear since the US Supreme Court’s decision this year in the peer grading case (the tests being graded were not found to be “student records”). State law also recognized parental access to “student records” under our Public Information Act (Section 552.114, Texas Government Code and Section 26.004, Texas Education Code).
