The U.S. Patriot Act of 2001 permits educational institutions/agencies to disclose “personality identifiable” information without the student or parent consent. It is not necessary to keep a record of the disclosure or to notify the student or parent of the disclosure.
This amendment to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) permits educational agencies and institutions to disclose - without the consent or knowledge of the student or parent - personally identifiable information from the student’s educational records to the Attorney General of the United States or his or her designee.
