Directory Information
The district my disclose information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if the primary purpose is to allow the district to include this type of information in certain school publications, such as yearbooks, newsletters, playbills or honor rolls. Directory information includes the student's name, address, email address and telephone numbers; the parent's names, address and telephone numbers; the student's photograph; date and place of birth; grade level; enrollment dates; weight and height if the student is a member of an athletic team; awards received; and extracurricular participation. The district will not disclose directory information unless the district will use the information in a publication or a third part has requested the information for a reason that, in the judgment of the district, serves the student's best interest. For example, the district will comply with directory information requests from another school in which a student seeks to enroll, universities and colleges, law enforcement and Child Protective Services. The district will provide directory information for commercial purpose only if beneficial to students, such as yearbooks.
