Owasso Independent School District v. Falvo
In 2002, a parent sued the school district alleging that peer grading is a violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA stipulates that federal funds can be withheld from schools that disclose educational records without parental consent. The case made its way to the Supreme Court of the United States, which unanimously agreed that peer grading is not a violation of FERPA.
