STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION
Student directory information is designed to be used internally within the school district. Directory information is defined in the annual notice. It may include the student's name, grade level, enrollment status, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, degrees and awards received, photograph and other likeness. Student is defined as an enrolled individual, PK-12 including children in school district sponsored child-care programs.
Prior to developing a student directory or to giving general information to the public, parents (including parents of students open enrolled out of the school district and parents of children home schooled in the school district) will be given notice annually of the intent to develop a directory or to give out general information and have the opportunity to deny the inclusion of their child's information in the directory or in the general information about the students.
It is the responsibility of the superintendent to provide notice and to determine the method of notice that will inform parents.
