Disability accommodations should be based on documented needs tied to equal access

Schools should handle accommodations through proper documentation and support instead of assumptions.

Accommodations should be based on each student’s actual functional limitations, not just their disability label, so schools can provide equal access in the way that student needs.

Students with disabilities must be given equal access to school opportunities, and schools may need to provide reasonable accommodations to make that possible.

FERPA protections also apply to things like social media, school activities, third-party housing, and outside vendors, so schools must make sure student information stays private everywhere it is used or shared.

FERPA protects student records by limiting who can access or release them

I learned that FERPA requires schools to be careful with student information, protect private records, and only release information when it is allowed.
 
 
 

students can have their educations and rights protected by FERPA

i learned that you can help as a bystander

I learned that schools have to handle Title IX complaints fairly and quickly, give both sides equal rights in the process, and take steps to protect students while figuring out what happened.
