Twin Falls School District

School Costs Agreement

The Twin Falls School District provides an education free of costs to our students. Aside from

the District’s free educational program however, there are some costs which students/parents

are responsible for over the course of the school year. These costs are not associated with an

academic credit.

School lunch is one example of a cost you may need to pay (see policy 8245). As the district

educates students from many different socio-economic levels, the district participates in

programs to work with families in need. At some of our schools we utilize the Community

Eligibility Program to provide free lunch to all students. At other schools we offer lunch at a

cost and provide free or reduced lunches to families that qualify. In order to qualify for the

Free and Reduced Lunch program, parents must fill out a form found on our website.

We encourage parents/families who do not qualify for free/reduced lunches and whose

students do not attend a CEP school to pre-pay for expected lunch expenses. The district will

continue to provide lunch for students even if they do not have funds in their lunch account.

This means your student has the ability to “charge” meals to their account. You, as a parent are

ultimately responsible for the cost of any meals your student charges to his/her account over

the course of the school year. We have a program through which you will be notified if your

student’s lunch account is delinquent.

Other charges you may be responsible for include, but are not limited to, replacement locks for

a gym locker if the original lock is lost, costs associated with participation in an extracurricular

activity, and/or a parking pass if your student drives to school.

In the event that you do not pay outstanding charges within the school year in which they are

incurred, the TFSD will proceed with a collections process.

By signing this form, I acknowledge that I am responsible for any costs incurred by my student

at the Twin Falls School District.

Twin Falls School District 2018-19 Notification of Rights under FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students who are 18 years of age or older ("eligible students") certain rights with respect to the student's education records. These rights are:

1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days after the day the school receives a request for access.

Parents or eligible students should submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the records they wish to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.

Parents or eligible students who wish to ask the school to amend a record should write to the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the school will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

3. The right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel) or a person serving on the school board. A school official also may include a volunteer or contractor outside of the school who performs an institutional service or function for which the school would otherwise use its own employees and who is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of PII from education records, such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist; a parent or student volunteering to serve on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee; or a parent, student, or other volunteer assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to

review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Upon request, the school discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, or is already enrolled if the disclosure is for purposes of the student’s enrollment or transfer.

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the Twin Falls School District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA are:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education

400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202

FERPA Notice for Directory Information

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that the Twin Falls School District, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, the Twin Falls School District may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the District to the contrary in accordance with District procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the Twin Falls School District to include this type of information from your child’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include: • A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama

production; • The annual yearbook; • Honor roll or other recognition lists; • Graduation programs; and • Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing

weight and height of team members.

Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks. In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with the following information – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent. If you do not wish to have your child’s directory information released, please indicate so on the TFSD Student Opt-Out Form, located on our website at www.tfsd.org. Please understand that signing this form

Page 15: NEW STUDENT ENROLLMENT PACKET - s3-us-west …

would exclude your child’s directory information from any documents that are typically made public or relating to school-related organizations and activities such as:

• Yearbooks • Alumni Directories • Graduation Programs • Honor Roll and other recognition lists • Sports activity programs • Theatrical programs • District productions/publications • Classroom or student pictures

If you do not want the Twin Falls School District to disclose directory information from your child’s education records without your prior written consent, you must complete the Opt Out form by August 20, 2017 or two weeks from the date you receive this notice. If you do not have access to the internet, please contact the Twin Falls School District Office at 733-6900 and forms can be mailed to you. Please submit Opt-Out Forms to:

Twin Falls School District

Attn: Eva Craner 201 Main Ave. W

Twin Falls, ID 83301

The Twin Falls School District has designated the following information as directory information:

• Student’s name • Address • Telephone listing • Electronic mail address (e-mail) • Photograph of the student used by the district for

recognition of student achievement and community relations, including, but not limited to, publication in the district’s or school’s newsletters, in the school setting and on the district’s or school’s web site;

• Major field of study • Date and place of birth • Participation in officially recognized activities and

sports • Weight and height of members of athletic team • Dates of attendance, degrees and awards received • Most recent previous school or school district

MEDIA RELEASE

Throughout the course of the school year, the media may be in our schools or at school sanctioned events to cover our activities. The majority of the media coverage featuring students is considered human interest stories that do not contain sensitive subject matter or are not controversial in nature. Often, reporters are present at our request to showcase our students and teachers engaged in exciting educational activities.

The Twin Falls School District includes in its classification of directory information student names and photographic images of students participating in regular classroom or school-authorized events. This simply means that the media may publish and/or broadcast the names and photographs of students participating in school-related activities without prior parental consent. If you do not wish to have your child featured in any form of media, please sign the media portion of the FERPA Opt-Out Form, and we will exclude them from any media photos or publications. If you have not completed an Opt-Out Form, your student will be allowed to participate in human interest stories. The TFSD Student Opt-Out Form is located on the TFSD website at www.tfsd.org under enrolling your student. In instances where the building administrator has a concern about maintaining student confidentiality or the sensitive nature of media related stories, parental permission will be sought prior to allowing the student to participate.

PPRA

PPRA affords parents and eligible students certain rights regarding the district's conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams. These include the right to inspect and consent or opt out of: 1. The administration of surveys that contain questions from one or more of eight protected areas:

• Political affiliations; • Mental and psychological problems potentially

embarrassing to the student and his/her family; • Sex behavior and attitudes; • Illegal, antisocial, self-incriminating and

demeaning behavior; • Critical appraisals of other individuals with whom

respondents have close family relationships; • Legally recognized privileged or analogous

relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians and ministers;

• Religious practices, affiliations or beliefs; or • Income (other than that required by law to

determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such program).

2. Activities involving the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information collected from students for the purpose of marketing. 3. Any non-emergency, invasive physical examination or screening.

If you have any questions regarding the information provided in this notice, please contact Eva

Craner at 733-6900.

Thank you!
