Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

FERPA is a United States federal law that governs the access to educational information and records by public entities such as potential employers, publicly funded educational institutions, and foreign governments. It grants parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records, and these rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches 18 years of age or attends a school beyond the high school level. The Idaho AI Act mandates compliance with FERPA to safeguard student data when using AI tools.
