Notice
Regarding Directory Information and
Parent’s Response Regarding Release of Student Information
State law requires the district to give you the following information:
Certain information about
district students is considered directory information and will be released to
anyone who follows the procedures for requesting the information unless the
parent or guardian objects to the release of the directory information about
the student. If you do not want Centerville
ISD to disclose directory information from your child’s education records
without your prior written consent, you must notify the district in writing within
ten school days of child’s first day of instruction for this school year.
This means that the district must give certain personal information (called “directory information”) about your child to any person who requests it, unless you have told the district in writing not to do so. In addition, you have the right to tell the district that it may, or may not, use certain personal information about your child for specific school-sponsored purposes. The district is providing you this form so you can communicate your wishes about these issues. [See Directory Information on page 8 for more information.]
