Nashua, NH asked in Civil Litigation and Education Law for New Hampshire

Q: Is there any violation of HIPAA or ferpa law if a 504 plan on child is announced to all students?

A teacher announced that my daughter is on a 504 care plan in her classroom and also said that “she is falling behind and that she needs to speak to her 504 plan case manager because she is recommended to go to Saturday school to catch up” verbatim. Is this against any HIPAA or ferpa or any laws at all?
