Question

****Nadia, an administrator at XYZ, was responsible for notifying students annually of their FERPA rights. If she prints a notice in the student newspaper, will that provide sufficient notice?

- No, because Nadia can't guarantee that all the students will see the newspaper
- Maybe, if the notice takes up a full page
- Yes

Answer 1

No, printing a notice in the student newspaper will not provide sufficient notice of FERPA rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, printing a notice in the student newspaper will not provide sufficient notice of FERPA rights. According to the case Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, public school curricular student newspapers that have not been established as forums for student expression are subject to a lower level of First Amendment protection. This means that administrators have more control over the content and distribution of the newspaper. Nadia cannot guarantee that all students will see the newspaper, so it would not be considered sufficient notice.
