| Privacy of Student Records |
 STUDENT RECORDS
Each
school maintains student records (permanent, interim and permitted).
Most records are under the supervision of the school principal and are
located at the school; however, some psychological records are under the
supervision of the Director of Pupil Personnel Services and are located
at the District Office.
If
you (the legal custodial parent or legal guardian) disagree with the
content of your student's records, you may question the content of those
records and request that the school principal and/or the Assistant
Superintendent of Educational Services authorize requested
modifications.
You are notified that the following specific information is available in District Board Policy 5022, Student and Family Privacy Rights and Board Policy 5125.1, Release of Directory Information.

-
A parent's or eligible student's right to refuse to let the District
designate any or all of those types of information about the student as
directory information.

The period of time within which a parent or eligible student must
notify the District in writing that he or she does not want any or all
of those types of information about the student designated as directory

access to student records are natural parents, adoptive parents or legal
guardians, Chico Unified School District employees as directed by
school officials, officials of other public schools or school systems,
authorized representatives of selected government offices where such
information is necessary pursuant to federal or state law, parents of a
student 18 years of age or older who is a dependent, or a student 16
years of age or older who has completed the tenth grade. Upon request,
copies of student records will be made available to persons having
access to those records according to adopted district procedures.
Directory

the District as that which can be shared with others without parental
consent. Directory Information means information contained in an

the District that they do not want their student's information so

third week of the school year. The District retains the right to deny
the release of Directory Information if such denial is considered in the
