Protecting Student Privacy

Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) maintains student educational records in compliance with federal and state laws. PWCS Policies and Regulations are developed in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which is the federal law protecting the privacy of student scholastic records. All public schools, including PWCS, are mandated to ensure proper policies and procedures are implemented to protect the content of scholastic records, regardless of the medium.

All requests for access to and/or duplication of student educational records are processed under the procedures set forth in Policy 790, "Student Educational Records," and Regulation 790-2, "Disclosure/Access to Student Educational Records."

Student educational records are forwarded to the PWCS Records Center after withdrawal or graduation, for a retention period of five years. After five years, the records are purged and only long-term documents are maintained, per the requirements of General Schedule 21 of the Library of Virginia. You can request the original student educational record before June 1 of the processing year by contacting the Records Center.

If you have any questions, please contact 703-791-7395.
