Q: My son's FERPA rights were violated. School lawyers wants to meet. Can I request to meet with just him and record it?
Past meetings with the Principal, Superintendant and School board were a waste of time. Lots of denials despite them knowing the truth. We finally received his school records which document the Violations, being out of compliance with 504 accomendations and the nurse admitted to making him take a test during a breathing treatment during an asthma attack, also admitted to walking away and leaving him in a room by himself during a breathing treatment. I have no desire to meet with everyone again, but willing to see what the lawyer has to say. Due to pass lies and misrepresentations of things I said, I want the meeting recorded.
A: In Pennsylvania they would have to consent to the recording. If the school is bringing their lawyer, you should have yours. Otherwise, after the meeting, do a follow up email with all the people in the meeting included in the email, confirming everything that was stated and agreed upon. This will help in the event of future litigation.
