Joel Reidenberg was quoted in a New York Post article about a high school principal who has apparently violated federal student privacy law.
The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, strictly prohibits the disclosure of student records, including disciplinary decisions, except to those directly involved with the student’s education, said Joel Reidenberg, director of the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham University.
If the information is disseminated to others, “it is a violation of FERPA,” Reidenberg told The Post.
