FERPA/HIPAA Pre-Test You are in charge of a staff meeting to study student achievement on school improvement goals. As part of your meeting, you are showing a report to the entire staff that shows student scores on a common local assessment. The report shows the student names. In addition, you have given them a paper copy of the report. It is a violation of FERPA to display the results of the assessment to the entire staff. The exception would be a group of teachers working on a specific student strategies, as they are a specific population that then has a “legitimate educational interest” in the information.
