Certain sensitive information on students collected via a psychological or psychiatric examination, test, or treatment, or any survey, analysis, or evaluation will only be collected with parental consent. You will receive a separate consent form in these cases. See our Protection of Pupil Rights Act (PPRA) notice for more information.
We will not collect a student’s social security number or criminal record, except as required by Utah Code Section 78A-6-112(3).
We will only share student data in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which generally requires written parental consent before sharing student data. FERPA includes several exceptions to this rule, where we may share student data without parental consent. For more information on third parties receiving student information from us, see our Metadata Dictionary.
Student data will be shared with the Utah State Board of Education via the Utah Transcript and Records Exchange (UTREx). For more information about UTREx and how it is used, please visit the Utah State Board of Education’s Information Technology website.
The collection, use, and sharing of student data has both benefits and risks. Parents and students should learn about these benefits and risks and make choices regarding student data accordingly. Parents are given the following choices regarding student data:
· Choice to request to review education records of their children and request an explanation or interpretation of the records (see our annual FERPA notice for more information)
· Choice to contest the accuracy of certain records (see our annual FERPA notice for more information), potentially leading to the correction, expungement, or deletion of the record
· Choice to opt into certain data collections(see the section above on optional data collections)
· Choice to opt out of certain data exchanges
o Information that has been classified as directory information (see our directory information notice for more information)
o Parents of students with an IEP may have their information shared with the Utah Registry of Autism and Developmental Disabilities (URADD). If included in this data exchange, parents will receive a separate notice within 30 days of the exchange, informing them of their right to opt out, per Utah Code Section 53E-9-308(6)(b)
· Choice to file a complaint if you believe the school or its agents are violating your rights under FERPA or Utah’s Student Data Protection Act. If you have a complaint or concern, we recommend starting locally and then escalating to the state and US Department of Education

In accordance with Board Rule R277-487-3(14), we have adopted a cybersecurity framework called the CIS Controls.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that Valley Academy Charter School (VAC), with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, VAC may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised VAC to the contrary in accordance with school procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow VAC to include this type of information from your child’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include: the annual yearbook, honor roll or other recognition lists, graduation programs, etc.
To opt-out of the directory please fill out the form below each school year before August 1st.
