Answer (2)

FERPA protects student records but allows disclosures for health emergencies and lawful subpoenas. However, it does not allow for the release of information to media outlets without parental consent. Thus, providing information to media is NOT an exception under FERPA. ;

The option that is NOT an exception under FERPA is A: providing relevant information requested by media outlets. FERPA protects student records and only allows for disclosures in specific situations such as emergencies or legal requirements. Schools may not share information with media outlets without parental consent.
