SECTION VIII: CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Policy Statement
The ROP MOE has in effect policies and procedures to ensure that public agencies in the ROP comply with IDEA ’04 regulations related to protecting the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information collected, used, or maintained under Part B of the Act, and that the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (including educational records) pertaining to children with disabilities is protected. The Palau MOE as a unitary SEA/LEA, informs other public agencies, and its public, of these procedural safeguard requirements. The MOE adopts the definitions for the terms “consent,” “evaluation” and “personally identifiable” from those in the implementing regulations for IDEA ’04. The MOE will give notice that is adequate to fully inform parents about these requirements.
