CHILD IDENTIFICATION
The goal of Humboldt Unified School District is to ensure that all children with disabilities who live within the District be identified, located and evaluated. Children from birth to three (3) years of age who require screening, evaluation, or early intervention services will be referred to local community agencies (see attached AzEIP handout for 0 – 3 years old). Children between the ages of 3 and 5 years are screened by district staff at the special-needs preschool.
The Humboldt Unified School District procedures for child identification include the following provisions:
1. For creating public awareness of special education and for informing parents of the rights of children with disabilities:
a) Information regarding screenings and the rights of children with disabilities will be made available in a language that is understandable to parents, regardless of ethnic, linguistic, or cultural background.
b) Annual efforts to create public awareness and to inform parents of their rights regarding children with disabilities are documented.
c) Surrogate parents are requested when no parent can be found or the child is a ward of the state, so that all children with disabilities may receive a free and appropriate public education.
2. Areas of screening for children age birth to 3 include vision and hearing, as well as cognitive, communication, and social/emotional development.
3. Screening of school age children is done within 45 calendar days of enrollment for new students and for students entering the district who have not been screened by previous school districts. [AAC-R7-401(C.) (2) (3)]
4. If screening results indicate a possible disability, a referral shall be made for comprehensive developmental or psycho educational assessment.

Annual Notification to Parents Regarding Confidentiality of Student Education Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) law requires that Humboldt Unified School District, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, the District may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the District of the contrary in accordance with District procedures. While no Humboldt Unified School District schools create a directory, the primary purpose of directory information is to allow the District to include this type of information from your child’s education records in certain school publications. Examples include:
· A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama production;
· The annual yearbook;
· Honor roll or other recognition lists;
· Graduation programs;
· Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing weight and height of team members; and
· Newspaper articles and related photos.
Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks.
If you DO NOT want HUSD to disclose directory information from your child’s education records, you must notify the School, in writing, within five days of your enrollment.
In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want their student’s information disclosed by providing the required form. (1.)
(1.) These laws are: Section 9528 of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7908), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110), the education bill, and 10 U.S.C. 503, as amended by section 544, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (P.L. 107-107), the legislation that provides funding for the Nation’s armed forces.
Notificación Anual a los Padres con Respecto a la Confidencialidad de los Expedientes Académicos de los Estudiantes
La ley de Derechos Educativos Familiares y Acto de Privacidad (FERPA) requiere que con ciertas excepciones, el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Humboldt, obtenga su permiso escrito para poder mostrar información personal identificable de los registros educativos de su hijo/a. Sin embargo, el Distrito puede mostrar la correctamente designada “información de directorio” sin consentimiento escrito, a menos que usted le pida al Distrito lo contrario de acuerdo con los procedimientos del Distrito. Las escuelas de Humboldt Unified School District no diseñan directorios, pero el principal propósito de la información de éste directorio es el permitir al Distrito incluir éste tipo de información de los registros educativos de su hijo/a en ciertas publicaciones escolares. Por ejemplo:
· Un programa, mostrando el papel de su estudiante en una producción teatral;
· El anuario;
· Cuadro de honor u otras listas de reconocimiento;
· Programas de graduación;
· Hojas de actividades deportivas, como lucha, mostrando el peso y estatura de los miembros del equipo; y
· Artículos en los periódicos y fotos relacionadas.
La información de directorio, la cual es generalmente considerada no dañina ni invasión de la privacidad si se muestra, también puede ser mostrada a otras organizaciones sin el previo consentimiento escrito de los padres. Estas organizaciones incluyen, pero no están limitadas a, compañías que manufacturan anillos de graduación o publican anuarios escolares.
Si usted NO DESEA que HUSD muestre información de directorio de los registros educativos de su hijo/a, debe notificar por escrito a la escuela dentro de los primeros cinco días de su inscripción.
Además, dos leyes federales requieren que las agencies educativas locales (LEAs) reciban asistencia bajo el Acto Educativo Primario y Secundario de 1965 (ESEA) para dar bajo pedido a reclutadores militares tres categorías de información de directorio – listas de nombres, direcciones y teléfonos – de no ser que los padres hayan avisado previamente a LEA que ellos no desean que la información de su estudiante sea mostrada proporcionando la forma requerida. (1.)
(1.) Estas leyes son: Sección 9528 de ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7908), como lo enmienda el Acto de “Ningún Niño dejado Atrás” del 2001 (P.L. 107-110), la constitución educativa y 10 U.S.C. 503, como lo enmienda la sección 544, del Acto de Autorización de la Defensa Nacional del año fiscal 2002 (P.L. 107-107), la legislación que provee fondos para las fuerzas armadas de la nación
