If this is your mountain
- Request a copy of your local district's FERPA compliance and parental-access policy at the next school board meeting.
- Ask your state department of education how it plans to absorb responsibilities if federal Department of Education functions are eliminated.
- Document any instance where a school has withheld student records or curriculum information from you as a parent.
- Follow official Department of Education and state legislative sources directly rather than relying solely on secondhand summaries of the executive order.
