Menlo College: Can the college contact parents during a serious health or safety emergency?
DIRECT ANSWER
Yes. FERPA permits disclosure to appropriate parties, including parents when appropriate, during a qualifying health or safety emergency.
Federal FERPA provides a health-or-safety emergency exception. Menlo publishes emergency contacts and notification systems, while routine student-record disclosures remain governed by FERPA.
