The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act prohibits the district from releasing any personally identifiable records or files about an individual student without written parental consent.

However, the district may release a list of students belonging to a group (e.g., graduating seniors, etc.). Directory information in a list may include the student’s name, address and telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student and photographs of students.

A student’s name will be excluded from a directory list upon written request by a parent.  If you are opposed to the release of this directory information, please send a written request to your child’s school so that your student’s name may be excluded.

Pursuant to RCW 28A.320 (Chapter 29 Laws of 2004), the District is providing notice to all parents that they have rights to request public records in accordance with RCW Chapter 42.17, including public records of school employee  discipline.  Clarkston School District Board Policy No. 4040 clarifies the  scope and appropriate process for requesting public records from the District and is available at the District Office or at www.csdk12.org.
