Release of Student Directory Information

From time to time, student directory information is published on the Nassau BOCES website, in school publications, social media and/or released to the media to recognize student achievement or depict educational activities of the Nassau BOCES. Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can be disclosed to outside organizations, by law, without a parent or guardian's prior consent.

Directory information includes:

  • Student’s name
  • Nassau BOCES student
  • Address (except information about a homeless student’s living situation)
  • Major course of study
  • Participation in school activities
  • Dates of attendance
  • Awards received
  • Most recent school attended
  • Grade level 
  • Home District
  • Post-Secondary Enrollment Status

The Nassau BOCES by law will disclose directory information, including students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings, to military recruiters upon request.

Once the proper FERPA notification is provided by the Nassau BOCES, parents/guardians or eligible students have 14 days to notify the Nassau BOCES of any objections they have to any of the directory information designations and to opt out.

To opt-out, send written notification to the BOCES principal or program supervisor for the program your child attends.
