Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) maintains student records in compliance with laws of both the Commonwealth of Virginia and the federal government. Primary guidance for the handling of scholastic records is from the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) , the federal law designed to protect the privacy of a student’s scholastic records. All public schools, including FCPS, are covered by FERPA.
