ISD 622 posts student directory information notice and opt‑out procedure
Summary
The board declared specified student data as directory information under federal and state rules and set the procedure and deadline (Oct. 15) for parents or eligible students to opt out of disclosure in district publications and to certain entities.
The Independent School District 622 Board adopted a public notice describing what the district will treat as student "directory information" and how families may opt out. The notice cites the U.S. General Education Provisions Act and the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act and lists categories of directory information, including student name, date of birth, grade, participation in activities, photos used for yearbooks and district publications, degrees and the most recent educational agency attended.
The notice instructs a parent, guardian or a student age 18 or older who wishes to make directory information private to notify the student’s principal in writing each year; the notification remains in effect until Oct. 15 of the next school year. It also includes instructions for refusing release of directory information to military recruiting officers and post‑secondary institutions.
