Management Plan created, and to institute an Asbestos Operations and
Maintenance (O&M) Program to train in-house personnel how to properly
manage and work around the ACBM in their buildings. An annual notification is
required to be sent to all school district employees, parents, groups and
organizations to explain the Management Plans and any current relevant
activities. The Jackson Local School District has completed all of these
requirements.
The master copy of the Asbestos Management Plan for all school buildings is maintained in the office of Todd Henee, Building and Grounds Supervisor, at (330) 497-5600. A copy of the Asbestos Management Plan that is specific to each building is maintained in the principal’s office.

asbestos-related activities that are planned to take place in the upcoming
calendar year.

FERPA: Notification of Rights for Elementary and Secondary
Districts
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents and students over 18 years of age ("eligible students") certain rights with respect to the student's education records. These rights are:
(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the District receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students should submit to the principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s
education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate.
Parents or eligible students may ask the District to amend a record that they
believe is inaccurate. They should write the Director of Pupil Services,
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it
is inaccurate. If the District decides not to amend the record as requested by
the parent or eligible student, the District will notify the parent or eligible
student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding
the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing
procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of
the right to a hearing.
(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to District officials with legitimate educational interests. A District official is a person employed by the District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the District Board; a person or company with whom the District has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another District official in performing his or her tasks. A District official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the District discloses education records without consent to officials of another District in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.
(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements
of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA are:
Family Policy Compliance Office

Student records shall be available only to students and
their parents, eligible students, designated school officials, and designated
school personnel, who have a legitimate educational interest in the
information, or to other individuals or organizations as permitted by law.
Both parents shall have equal access to student records unless stipulated otherwise by court order or law. In the case of eligible students, parents may be allowed access to the records without the student's consent, provided the student is considered a dependent under section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only "directory information" regarding a student shall be released to any person or party, other than the student or his/her parent, without the written consent of the parent, or, if the student is an eligible student, without the written consent of the student, except to those persons or parties stipulated by the Board's policy and administrative guidelines and/or those specified in the law.
Each year the District provides public notice to students and their parents of the District's intent to make available, upon request, certain information known as "directory information." The Board designates as student "directory information": a student's name; major field of study; participation in officially-recognized activities and sports; height and weight, if a member of an athletic team; dates of attendance; date of graduation; awards received; honor rolls; and scholarships. Directory information shall not be provided to any organization for profit-making purposes. The Board may disclose "directory information" on former students without student or parental consent.

gifted area. Our goal is to help students become independent, lifelong
learners who have all the skills they need to purse their passion.
