Parental Rights
and Responsibilities
Q-48.
Is the parent of a Running Start student entitled to review attendance
and grade information held by the college or university?
A. A parent of a Running Start student
is likely to be entitled to review this information. However, it depends
in each case on whether the parent claims the student as a dependent
for income tax purposes. Students attending postsecondary educational
institutions hold the confidentiality rights in their education records.
They have the right to consent prior to any disclosure of information
from education records held by the postsecondary institution. However,
an exception to the consent requirement allows the parents of dependent
children to review their child's education records without consent of
the student.
Q-49. May Running Start students participate
in field trips that are scheduled as a part of the college course?
A. Yes, but written parental permission
should be obtained for all field trips. If parents do not give permission,
alternative options must be arranged by faculty.
