Each year the Macks Creek R-V School District is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to parents or students pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and privacy Act (FERPA).

  • RIGHT TO REQUEST AMENDMENT: You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record which you believe to be inaccurate, misleading or otherwise in violation of your rights. This right includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that the record should be changed if this institution decides not to alter the education records according to your request.
