Oregon education leaders said they already follow FERPA and PPRA after a March 28 letter from the U.S. Department of Education questioned if schools are keeping parents informed about student records—state officials maintain that annual notifications and staff training secure these rights. They stressed that the measures have long been in place as Oregon works to protect about $1.5 billion in federal education funding.
