KSPSD and BTE Field Addition
FERPA Privacy Flag WHAT IS FERPA? The Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, also known as the Buckley Amendment, protects the privacy of student records.
The Act provides the student with a right to inspect and review educational records, the right to seek to amend those records, and a right to limit disclosure of information from the records, with some exceptions.
Applies to all institutions that are recipients of federal funding.
The regulations can be found in 34 CFR Part 99.

Program Inventory (PI)Distance Education Flag Initially populated by KBOR according to survey sent to institutions
last Fall Institutions will now be responsible for populating and maintaining
field Yes or No
Why?

33
KHEDS Change AY 2012
Program InventoryDistance Education Definition Distance education is defined as "either an asynchronous or
synchronous instructional delivery system in which faculty and students are physically separated in place or time. Teaching and learning are supported by a wide spectrum of existing and evolving media.”
For purposes of reporting, any program in which the proportion of content delivered via distance learning is 50% or more will be considered as a distance education program.
These offerings will include those offered wholly online and blended or hybrid programs in which a substantial proportion of the content is delivered through mediated delivery technology to facilitate such activities as online discussions, interactive television, and limited numbers of face‐to‐face meetings.
