Just a reminder that HIPAA regulations specifically exclude schools because they are covered
under FERPA (another federal law). If a person is employed by a school or shares
confidential information with a school, then that person's actions must comply with FERPA.


The American School Health Association has worked with several other national organizations,
to provide guidance on FERPA with respect to students' health information in the document
"Guidelines for Protecting Confidential Student Health Information." See our web site www.ashaweb.org
for more information on this resource.
