Federal and Ohio law prohibits Cincinnati Public Schools from publicly releasing information about our students, except for designated “directory information.”
Beginning with the 2006-07 school year, CPS limits “directory information” to:
CPS releases this information in order to highlight the accomplishments of our students; however, the law requires the district to release directory information to any member of the media or public requesting it.
CPS must release the names, addresses and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruiters, unless the parent/ legal guardian (or student aged 18 and over) specifically objects.
Schools are required to give parents annual notice of the opportunity to prevent release of directory information about their children.
If parents, legal guardians, or students 18 or older wish to prevent the release of directory information, they should complete the information on the Privacy Request form and turn it in at the student's school.
