Answer (2)

FERPA allows school officials to release personally identifiable information without parental consent under specific circumstances, including when parents do not respond to consent requests. Release can also occur if necessary for educational interests or if parents cannot be reached. It's important for schools to adhere to these privacy standards while ensuring the legitimate needs for student information are met. ;
