Ferpa Violation Legal Options
Summary
You may have a case under FERPA for unauthorized disclosure of your directory information by your high school. Discrimination claims require explicit evidence of intent based on your identity before transition, which can be challenging to prove. Document all communications with the school and consider consulting a lawyer specializing in education law and discrimination. Additionally, reaching out to the U.S. Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights for FERPA complaints could be beneficial.Full Conversation
yes its through email. Also what do you mean by "without explicit evidence of intent based on your identity before transition"
What I meant by "without explicit evidence of intent based on your identity before transition" is that proving discrimination can be difficult if you cannot show that the school had a specific intent to discriminate against you because of your transition.
Have you considered reaching out to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights? They handle FERPA complaints and could be a valuable resource for you.
