Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment How Many Kids Score This?

Tell them they are breaking the law. I agree FERPA. You can't look at someone elses records but as legal guardian of the child who had to sign permission forms to even let them be tested that is information that cannnot be kept from you.

Here's a thought.... before you start talking law try to tell them your child is elligible to apply for DYS. I would suggest not talking about DYS and any school envolvement because my school got very defensive. You could tell them it's a great program and sometime kids get camp scholarships. Tell them you need a full report and if that does not work try going to the principal. I'm just thinking you would be better to keep it freindly if you can. I hope it goes well. Let us know what happens.

In writing?

Our school could not 'release' records to me, but I could come by and see them and copy stuff down. Still not sure why they wouldn't release copies, but in any event I got the info I was interested in.

I tried that on Friday. The lady I talked to was a little more receptive and is having somebody call me back on Monday.

I tried requesting it in email but not in writing. They never responded to the email so I'm sure they'd just say they didn't get the request. Oh, I guess I could send it certified mail.
