The Frederick County School Board is committed to keeping accurate and complete records for every student enrolled in its public schools, following all relevant federal and state laws. The superintendent or their designee is responsible for collecting, maintaining, and securing student records, as well as managing access to these records. They ensure that personally identifiable information is kept confidential, shared appropriately, and destroyed when necessary, including the removal of personal details about students with disabilities if requested by the parents. The superintendent will also make sure that all school staff are informed about the policies and procedures for handling student records and that parents and students are aware of their rights, including the right to request a copy of this regulation.
FCPS policy and procedures for handling student records is set forth in FCPS Policy 416P, Students - Student Scholastic Records and FCPS Regulation 416R, Students - Student Scholastic Records.
