What does FERPA stand for?

Federal Education Rights and Promotion Act
Federal Educational Rights to Privacy Act
Federal Engagement Reform and Privacy Act
Federal Educational Resource Preservation Act

The correct answer is: Federal Educational Rights to Privacy Act

The correct answer is that FERPA stands for the Federal Educational Rights to Privacy Act. This federal law was enacted in 1974 to protect the privacy of student educational records. It grants students and parents certain rights concerning these records, including the right to access them and the right to request amendments to inaccurate or misleading information. In the context of the other options, while they might seem plausible, they do not accurately reflect the designation or intent of the law. The terms "Rights and Promotion," "Engagement Reform," and "Resource Preservation" do not pertain to the purpose of FERPA, which specifically focuses on the protection of privacy regarding educational records rather than engagement or resources. This underlines the significance of understanding both the accurate terminology and the core objectives of the legislation when answering such questions.
