ANNUAL NOTICE OF FERPA RIGHTS
On July 9, 2013, the Calumet Public School Board of Education adopted a student record policies and procedures policy for the school district. This policy is designed to meet the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

In the course of a child’s education, the Calumet School District will keep records as deemed necessary to provide programs to meet his/her needs and interests. A parent has the right to inspect and review any and all records, files, and data related to his/her child. These records will be available for such review at any time during the regular school day. If you have any concern regarding the accuracy or appropriateness of any information or record maintained by the school, please do not hesitate to inform your child’s principal of that concern.
It is the right of a student’s parents or eligible student to seek to correct parts of the student’s education record which he/she believes to be inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of the student’s rights.
