The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law, requires that the East Islip School District, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child's education records. However, the East Islip Union Free School District may disclose appropriately designated "directory information" without written consent.

Unless objection to any of the specific items of information following is submitted in writing by parents or legal guardians, or by those students themselves who are 18 years of age and older, the East Islip School District herewith gives notice of intention to provide, release or publish in the East Islip School District newsletter, school or student newspapers, magazines, yearbooks or other publications, daily or weekly newspapers, athletic programs, graduation programs, musical or theatrical programs, news releases and video any and/or all of the following "directory information" pertaining to students as may be appropriate under the circumstances: name of student, names of parents, address, dates of attendance, photographs.

Under 20USC Section 1232g, Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, parents who do not desire the release of any of the above directory information must make a specific request in writing to the Superintendent of Schools by the end of September. Failure to make such a request shall be deemed as consent to release, provide or publish the directory information during the school year.
