What does the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protect?

The sports interests of students
The privacy of education records
The rights of teachers against unfair termination
The attendance records of students

The correct answer is: The privacy of education records

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that primarily protects the privacy of students' education records. This legislation grants parents the right to access their children's education records, the ability to request amendments to those records, and control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in those records. The law aims to ensure that students' educational information is kept confidential and is not disclosed without proper consent, thus upholding their privacy rights. While issues related to sports interests, teacher rights, and attendance records may be relevant in educational contexts, they do not fall under the specific protections outlined by FERPA. The act is focused specifically on safeguarding education records and the sensitive information they contain, making the correct answer directly related to the privacy of education records.
