Which of the following is NOT protected under FERPA?

FERPA, or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, is designed to protect the privacy of student education records. Under FERPA, certain categories of information regarding students are considered educational records and are thus protected. This includes student grades, attendance records, and class schedules.

Health records, on the other hand, are generally not governed by FERPA as they are typically covered under HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA applies to the protection of health information in medical settings, which means that medical records or health-related information about students are not classified as educational records under FERPA. Therefore, health records fall outside the jurisdiction of FERPA’s protective measures, making them the correct response to the question of which is NOT protected under FERPA.
