Q: Can a private school in Puerto Rico limit the access to my children's tests and evaluation forms?
My children are enrolled in a private school in Puerto Rico, to which I make monthly payments. However, they don't provide easy access to the tests, evaluations, notes.
I have written to the principal and they delay in answering my requests, most ofter after the report card is handed out and they indicate the period for changes is closed.
Some teachers have replied that they will only show the test by appointment, but won't provide a copy for me to revise it at home with the books (in order to know where my child failed or if there was a mistake correcting the test - which the school ha /s a lrecord of) nor practice with my child (clear doubts).
It's unmanageable to request an appointment with each teacher to revise each test, when I work full time and there are tests given from Tuesday to Friday each week. Is thus against any law? I need access to my child's documents.
A: Attorneys who practice in Puerto Rico could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. The question may have been overlooked because it did not include "Puerto Rico" as a state/territory (see "Show More States.") You could try reposting and including "Puerto Rico." Some questions go unanswered, but hopefully attorneys who practice in Puerto Rico who are knowledgeable in education law could have a better chance of seeing the question and responding. Good luck
