OAR 581-021-0280: Fees for Copies of Education Records

(1) Student records are public records under ORS 192.410 through 192.505 but are exempt from disclosure except as authorized by OAR 581-021-0220 through 581-021-0440. (2) Unless the imposition of a fee effectively prevents a parent or eligible student from exercising the right to inspect and review the student’s education records, an educational agency or institution may charge a fee for a copy of an educational record which is made for the parent or eligible student subject to section (3) of this rule. (3) Notwithstanding ORS 192.440(3), an educational agency or institution may not charge a fee to search for or to retrieve the education records of a student.
