Parents, guardians, and educational decisionmakers of students or eligible students may inspect and review the student’s records upon request. In some circumstances, it may be mutually more convenient for the principal to provide copies of records.

 

Parents, guardians, and educational decisionmakers or eligible students may be asked to submit to the principal a written request which identifies precisely the record or records he or she wishes to inspect.

 

The principal or a designated staff member will make the arrangements and notify the parent/guardian or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. This procedure must be completed in 45 days or less from the receipt of the request for access.

 

If a parent, guardian, educational decisionmakers or eligible student cannot personally inspect and review a student’s record, the Lincoln Public Schools will arrange for the parent/guardian or eligible student to obtain copies of the record.

 

When a record contains information about students other than the parent’s child or the eligible students, information about other children may be blocked out before an inspection is permitted.
