Formerly known as the Texas Open Record Act
“If someone in the community wants a roaster of all the students in the school, the school must release the information, excluding the names of students whose parents requested their names to be exempt form discloser.
The penalty for illegal disclosure is withholding of federal funds from the school district through the U.S. Department of Education. DOES NOT APPLY TO STUDENTS GRADING EACH OTHERS PAPERS BECAUSE ITS NOT AND EDUCATIONAL RECORD KEPT BY THE DISTRICT. It’s not considered a “record” kept by the district until the grade is recorded in a grade book.
Reasonable is the key word here….the school official needs more than a feeling or a hunch!!!
Some commentators that advise school law are against “general searches or sweep” not involving health of safety reasons
