Home | StopBullying.gov Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) Home The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Parents or eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's education records maintained by the school. Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance.

Bullying No. 80; March 2011Click here to download and print a PDF version of this document. Bullying is a common experience for many children and adolescents. Surveys indicate that as many as half of all children are bullied at some time during their school years, and at least 10% are bullied on a regular basis. Bullying behavior can be physical or verbal. Children who are bullied experience real suffering that can interfere with their social and emotional development, as well as their school performance. Children and adolescents who bully thrive on controlling or dominating others. If you suspect your child is bullying others, it's important to seek help for him or her as soon as possible. If you suspect your child may be the victim of bullying ask him or her to tell you what's going on. It's also important to respond in a positive and accepting manner. Ask your child what he or she thinks should be done. For more information visit AACAP's Bullying Resource Center

New ways to stop bullying As an expert on bullying, Dorothy Espelage, PhD, hates to see her research collecting dust on library shelves. She wants it in the hands of educators where it can make a difference. So, the counseling psychologist/researcher heads to Wisconsin almost weekly to update teachers on the latest facts about bullying. "We're doing good peer-reviewed research on bullying, and the only way to get the message out there is to go into the schools," says Espelage, who with colleagues has surveyed 20,000 Wisconsin second- through 12th-graders about the subject. Her "research talks" to teachers and administrators dispel common myths about bullying, such as that bullies are always unpopular. Espelage is one of a growing number of American psychologists helping schools establish effective bullying prevention and intervention programs, which are being mandated by many school systems across the country in the wake of Columbine and other school shootings. New research from the Secret Service and the U.S.
