Releasing library records is a state law issue that will vary from state to state. However, under the Supremacy clause, if schools accept federal funds, the federal school records act,, FERPA, overrides state law on this issue. Carol Simpson, Ed.D. Assoc. Professor - School of Library & Information Sciences University of North Texas PO Box 311068 205 Chestnut, ISB #205 Denton, TX 76203 940-565-3776 (voice) 940-565-3101 (fax) carol_simpson@unt.edu >>> Jennifer GARCIA <garciaj@UCISD.NET> 11/28/2005 1:36 PM >>> Today at lunch I had a discussion with my principal regarding the legality of disclosing a history of books checked out by a student. I was under the impression that it is illegal to release that, but he thinks it is not. Both of us think it may have to do with Ferpa and that maybe you need parent permission. If anyone out there has more info than that, please let me know. Thanks in advance! Jennifer Garcia, Librarian Uvalde Junior High School P.O.
