I was not aware abut cease or desist order, and no penalty for release of information. However, U.S Department of Education can impose a 5-year rule agains violation of FERPA.
FERPA’s main goal is to give students control over their educational records while ensuring schools handle that information responsibly.
An institution has 45 days to comply with requests to access educational records.
FERPA not only protects families and students, but the institution as well
FERPA not only protects the rights of the students but the organization as well.
FERPA is built on the premise to protect the privacy of a student's records.
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is a U.S. federal law passed in 1974 that protects the privacy of students' educational records. It gives students the right to review their records, request corrections, and control who can access their personal information.
This module reinforced the purpose of FERPA in protecting student privacy and maintaining compliance.

FERPA is law that protects students' educational records. These laws are in place to protect students from any outside agencies or people from tampering, acquiring, and use of these records for any reason.

FERPA' Is a protection for the students records and they are official that not every student or instructor can see unless they have authority to do so, this is student privacy unless there is special request to be done and this is the responsibility of the school. Even for the student he must apply for a special request and must wait 45 days to get the approval from the school.

Learning about how notes can go in a student's file was new to me.
FERPA protects the right to privacy of student's records overall. this includes the right to addresses, educational statuses. familiall information unless given consent under provisions/permissions of the student. The privacy of the student's records cannot be accessed by individuals of law nor of health unless provided by the student themselves.
What students are allowed to see and who can see their files
FERPA is the right of all students and/or parents. FERPA allows students and guardians access to their academic records and the ability to file complaints or challenge certain aspects of their records through hearings.
