18-Year-Old Students and the Law
"Do Not Send My Report Card to My Parents…"
An 18-year-old student walks in your office and demands, “do not send my report cards or other records to my parents.” Meanwhile, the student lives with his or her parent/guardian, who claims the student as a “dependent” for federal income tax purposes, and wishes to continue receiving educational records regarding the student. School officials should be aware of the applicable legal standards which address such situations. Moreover, while it is not necessary to “advertise” the rights of the 18-year-old student, appropriate procedures and/or policy can provide consistent guidance.
