Consent to Disclose Student Records for Record Sharing

This program, Girls for a Change, is funded by the City of Richmond’s Positive Youth Development and Youth Violence Program. The goal of the City of Richmond’s Positive Youth Development and Youth Violence Program is to promote positive youth development and prevent youth violence and help your child reach his or her full potential—socially, emotionally, and academically. To help the City of Richmond achieve that goal, we may need to share certain information about your child with the City of Richmond and NextUp RVA. The City of Richmond has contracted NextUp RVA to distribute funds, provide technical assistance and evaluate programs’ impact on youth outcomes. In turn, they may need to share certain information about your child with us. NextUp RVA is committed to ensuring all youth have a positive, quality learning experience, and sharing this information can help us better serve your child(ren). Additionally, this information will help us understand whether or not this program is having a positive impact on your child’s academic, social, and emotional well-being. Also, to improve the program and make sure it meets the needs of youth, schools, and the community, we may conduct surveys to ask questions about the kinds of programs students would like to see, what they are learning from their participation in the programs and how they view themselves as learners and how they relate to their peers and adult staff. The answers to the surveys will be used to evaluate and improve the City of Richmond’s Positive Youth Development and Youth Violence Program. Richmond Public Schools (RPS) requires your consent to disclose data regarding your child in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which protects the privacy of student educational records to NextUp
By signing this form, you are granting permission for RPS to disclose educational data related to your child as permitted under FERPA to NextUp, ensuring the confidentiality and security of their academic records.
