The 2009 Legislature revised Florida’s student records law in order to ensure that it aligns with federal requirements. Section 1002.22, F.S., now directs the Department of Education to review the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to ensure that it complies with certain protections and notices and adopt rules to administer Florida’s student records laws provisions. The revised rule reflects recent revisions to Section 1002.22, F.S., and 34 C.F.R. 99.1, et seq. and the creation of Section 1002.221, F.S., in order to ensure that Florida’s student records law is complaint with FERPA. The revisions update statutory references, delete obsolete references and provisions, amend definitions, revise record keeping and notice requirements, and make other revisions necessary to ensure compliance with FERPA and establish the obligations of public schools and agencies when managing these records. The result will be a rule that reflects the current requirements of FERPA and provides public schools with a framework for complying with student records requirements.
