When sharing an education record, you must protect the privacy of all students listed in it. If the record includes information about another child, those details must be removed before you disclose the record. This avoids sharing another student’s identifying information without permission. The standard approach is to remove that information prior to disclosure, unless you have explicit written consent from the other parent to release those specifics. Disclosing the record as-is would violate privacy, and redacting the entire record is unnecessary since only the parts about other students need to be removed. Consent from the other parent could allow sharing of that information, but lacking such consent, removing it is required.
