FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Virginia State Code 22.1-287 place limitations on access to student educational records. Researchers, who would not normally have reason or permission to access a student’s educational record, may not access that student’s educational record without prior parental permission. Under certain circumstances, the researcher may request that the school provide de-identified data from student educational records as long as students cannot be identified or deduced from the data set. In this case, the data are linked and stripped of identifying information by a third party who has normal access to the data (such as a school administrator). Such data sets qualify for exemption under CFR 45 part 46.101.b(4).
