RELATES TO: KRS 160.730
NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 160.730 provides for parents or eligible students to challenge the content of a student record to ensure that the record or report is not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of privacy or other rights of the student. KRS 160.370 also mandates that the Department of Education establish by administrative regulation hearing procedures that may be utilized to challenge the content of a student record when no agreement can be reached. This administrative regulation establishes those hearing procedures.
Section 1. If a school decides not to comply with a request of a student's parent(s) or legal guardian to amend the education record of the student, the school shall notify the student's parent(s) or guardian of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing to challenge the information believed to be inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate, or in violation of the student's rights.
Section 2. Hearing Procedures.
Section 3. Posthearing Procedures.
Section 4. Alternative Hearing Procedures. If a school district has a records hearing policy and procedure that provides a substantially equivalent level of due process protection as provided in this administrative regulation, the school district may elect to submit its policy on records hearing procedure to the Department of Education, Office of Legal Services, for its review and approval as to compliance with this administrative regulation.
