Can a school give out a students address and name?

Generally, schools are required to protect student privacy and may not disclose personal information, including a student's name and address, without consent or a valid legal reason. However, certain laws, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) in the United States, allow for some information to be shared under specific circumstances. It's important for schools to have clear policies regarding student information and comply with applicable laws. Parents and guardians can inquire about these policies to understand their rights and protections.
