Serving portions of Livonia & Westland Vol. 35, No. 1 August 2006 District prepares to welcome students back this fall By: Randy A. Liepa, Ph.D. We are all anxiously awaiting the return of our students on September 6. A great deal of excitement surrounds our school communities as we get ready for this new beginning. As you know, the school district is embarking on one of the most significant changes in its history. We recognize that this has required sacrifice from our families as we have said goodbye to several cherished schools in our community. Dr. Randy Liepa Superintendent Because of this sacrifice, we have been able to maintain, and actually improve, the educational program for our students. Our staff is especially excited about the new opportunities that have been created by our new elementary grade configuration. I want to thank our parents, students, and staff for their tremendous commitment to our educational program during this time of change. Preparing for this year has required an unprecedented effort by many people and I commend everyone that has been involved. Because of your efforts, we are all looking forward to a great fall for our students. We look forward to seeing you soon, as we live out our mission of teaming together to ensure learning for all. Community Conversations draw citizen input Nearly 50 community members have attended the new Community Conversation sessions which were inaugurated in July by the Board in the interest of improving community dialogue with school trustees. The meetings are structured to be informal, small group conversations with the focus on allowing community members to have two-way discussions in a comfortable setting with up to three Board members on any topic pertinent to the schools. Topics discussed at the first three meetings have included: Audience communication at Board meetings; Input on a new asset utilization committee; Anti-bullying programs; Inside (continued on page 5) Fall Schedules 3 Transition Activities 5 Open House Dates 5 Sports Physical Info. 6 Phone Numbers 8 1

Family Rights & Privacy Act Reviewed Educational records of students in the Livonia Public Schools School District are safeguarded by policies of the federal legislation entitled Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Parents, guardians, and/or eligible students, 18 years of age or older, may have access to that student s educational records. Parents who are not married may have access to their child s records unless specifically prohibited by a court order on file in the child s school. Parents, guardians, and/or eligible students wishing to read a child s educational record should contact the principal s office. Access to a Personal Cumulative File maintained by the Department of Student Services can be arranged by telephoning (734) 744-2615. While the law does allow for the disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records in certain circumstances, parents, students over the age of 18, and former students over the age of 18 also have the right to consent to the disclosure of such information. Disclosure of information Information from the files may be disclosed without consent in accordance with applicable law. Examples of when information may be disclosed include: 1. Parents, guardians, and/or eligible students may request that information be released to specific parties or organizations. 2. Under circumstances specified in the school district s regulations to certain state and federal officials, courts, etc. 3. To protect the health and safety of the students. 4. Upon request, the Livonia Public Schools discloses education records without consent to officials of 4 another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Access to records Pursuant to federal law and regulation, the District may allow school officials to have access to education records without consent of a parent, guardian, or eligible student. A school official is any district Board member or employee or other individual acting on behalf of the district such as: an attorney, a contractor, a volunteer, a consultant, a therapist, a committee member, a vendor, or their employees; whom the district s administration determines to have a legitimate educational interest in the records. A legitimate educational interest is any interest which furthers the best interests of the student or students involved, or assists the District in providing educational services. As an ongoing procedure to protect the rights of students by maintaining educationally relevant information in the files, administrators initiate periodic review of file information. This review will take place prior to a transfer to a new school within or outside Livonia Public Schools and at high school graduation, and may include the destruction of data which is no longer educationally relevant. Directory information In addition, federal regulations allow a school district to publish certain information without securing specific authorizations each time, if parents, guardians, and/or eligible students are informed in advance that this information, known as directory information, will be released. If they do not want such information made public, the principal should be informed and the information will be withheld. In Livonia Public Schools, directory information includes the following: 1. Student name 2. Address 3. Date of birth 4. Major field of study 5. Participation in recognized activities and sports 6. Weight and height of athletic team members 7. Student image or likeness in picture, videotape, film, digital format, or other media, including the district or school Web sites 8. Year of graduation 9. Awards received 10. Sex of pupil Additionally, the district is required to provide military recruiters, upon request, with names, addresses, and telephone listings of secondary students unless parents advise the district that they do not want their student s information disclosed without their prior written consent. Appeal process Parents, guardians, and/or eligible students who believe that an educational record is inaccurate, misleading, or violates the student s rights, may request in writing that the record be amended or destroyed. This request must be submitted to J. Stephen Smith. If the request is refused, the parents, guardians, and/or eligible students have a right to a hearing. Parents or eligible students also have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning an alleged failure of the school district to comply with the federal FERPA/1974. The federal government maintains an office that will assist. The telephone number is 202-260-3887. Mail inquiries to Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605.
