The U.S. Department of Education recently launched investigations into Maine and California over concerns that public schools in those states violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, by withholding information from parents regarding their children’s gender transitions.
The federal Student Privacy Policy Office argued the goal is to take action “against schools misusing FERPA.”
“Parents and guardians have the right to access their child’s education records to guide and safeguard their child’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Any policy to the contrary is both illegal and immoral,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in a March 28 news release.
The investigation into the Maine Department of Education was prompted by reports that several school districts were adopting policies that concealed information about students’ gender transitions from parents.
