Confidentiality of Student Records - UCPS - Exceptional Children ...

H. STATE CONFIDENTIALITY REQUIREMENTS
1. State Procedures for confidentiality and access to records are contained in section .1509 of the
current edition of Procedures Governing Programs and Services for Children with Disabilities.
2. The Handbook on Parents’ Rights outlines the parents’ opportunity to examine records and the
required parent consent for release of records to a person or organization that is not otherwise
authorized to see the records.
3. The introductory comments at the IEP (Individual Education Program) Team meeting should
include a statement that the information presented is to be treated in conformance with
confidentiality requirements. If the parent brings persons to the meeting who are unrelated to the
student and are not a statutorily required member of the IEP Team, the parent should provide
consent for them to receive confidential information. This may be done by reminding the parent
that confidential student information will be discussed and that by inviting the person they will
have access to that information and ask that they so understand.
4. All Exceptional Children’s Staff are to review confidentiality training procedures each year.
I. LISTING OF PERSONS WITH ACCESS
Each school will maintain a listing of those persons having access to exceptional Children’s records.
