Subcommittee advances student-records update to align with attorney general guidance
Summary
The policy subcommittee voted to forward a JRA student-records update that defines directory information and limits sharing, citing Attorney General guidance on K–12 data protections.
The Framingham Public Schools policy subcommittee voted to send an update to the JRA student-records policy to the full school committee for first reading. The update adds a definition of directory information and clarifies how student information may be shared, reflecting guidance from the state Attorney General's office.
Ms. Steyer, who proposed the change, said the revision aims to align district policy with Attorney General guidance on protecting K–12 student data and to limit what directory information is available and to whom. Committee members expressed support, saying the change provides families greater assurance that student information will not be made public outside the district.
The subcommittee approved the referral by roll-call vote and will send the policy update to the full committee for further consideration and possible adoption.
Ending: The JRA update will proceed to the full committee as part of the district's effort to standardize protections for student records.
