Yes. Colleges no longer post grades, even tagged with student ID or SSN rather than name-- it's no longer permitted. In the same way, elementary schools should not be releasing grades of any individual student to any person except that student or the parents.

That's interesting b/c, carried to its end, it seems that this law would disallow posting honor rolls as well, which all of my kids' middle and high schools have done. They put the 4.0 honor roll, etc. in the newsletter, hang it on the walls of the school, hold ceremonies for kids who are on the 4.0, 3.75, 3.5, etc. honor rolls...
