The Board will consider the policy revision at its June meeting.

Chief Communications Officer Sarah Marcus presented proposed revisions to Board Policy FL (Local) on student directory information, saying the updates would further define what constitutes directory information for school-related purposes and restrict release of that information to third-party requesters unless required by law or with parent permission.

Board members did not take final action at the May meeting; the district has scheduled the policy item for formal consideration at the next regular meeting in June. The proposal is presented as a privacy measure to control distribution of student names and basic directory data unless parents consent or a legal requirement mandates release.
