What rules govern “redisclosure” of student records?
Recipients of education records may not disclose personally identifiable information to another party (“redisclose”) without the student’s written consent. Exceptions to this rule include: Federal and State officials, recipients under court order to release the records, and crime victims receiving information under the Clery Act. Officials of federal and state agencies who have received education records for audit, evaluation, compliance or enforcement purposes may forward those records: • To another federal or state official for the same purposes, • To a student’s new school, • To an accrediting agency, • In connection with a health or safety emergency, and/or • In compliance with a court order or subpoena. A state education agency or other party that rediscloses education records in compliance with a court order or subpoena must meet the student/parental notification requirements before it responds to the records request. The college or education agency must make a reasonable effort
