The Department of Education is seeking public input on a draft “Dear Colleague Letter” that addresses the privacy of student medical records, particularly pertaining to litigation. The letter states, “The
Department is sending this Dear Colleague Letter to school officials at institutions to remind them of their obligations under…FERPA…, to protect students’ education records from disclosure without consent, and to provide guidance more specifically on the
disclosure of student medical records.”
This issue has been a real hot-button for many of us in the field and we have been asking for additional guidance and direction from the government. This is our chance to provide input both on the
content of the Dear Colleague Letter as well as its impact on our campuses.
I encourage you to review the Department's request - http://www.ed.gov/blog/2015/08/seeking-your-input-on-protecting-student-medical-records/ and
the letter itself - http://familypolicy.ed.gov/sites/fpco.ed.gov/files/DCL%20Final%20Signed-508.pdf and provide your input to the Department.
