The Court found that no violation of FERPA occurred because placing a grade on another student’s paper is not considered an educational record. It would not be a violation of FERPA until the teacher placed an official grade in the gradebook and disclosed this information.

Owasso Independent School District won the case.

Kristja Falvo asked Owasso Independent School District to ban peer grading, specifically the practice of allowing students to grade each other’s work as the teacher explains the correct answers as a whole class, because it embarrassed her children. When they declined, she filed an action against the school district, stating that it was a violation of FERPA.

- "Housecleaning" and destruction of records that were based on rumor and gossip and other inappropriate material
- The quality of student records and the caliber of recommendations have "improved substantially", which reflects the fact that under the Act, teachers, principals, and counselors "must adhere to absolute truth, rather than opinion, when writing reports on individual students"
- Fears that teachers would be sued for libel if they wrote anything negative in student records have been greatly exaggerated

- The Family Policy Compliance Office of the Department of Education has been established to "investigate, process, and review violations and complaints"
- The Office will notify the school after receiving written violation complaints and provide them an opportunity to respond
- The Office will send its findings to both parties
- If there has been a violation, the Office will indicate the specific steps the school must take to be in compliance. If the school does not comply, a review board hearing will be held and federal education funds may be terminated.
- Although there have been over 1,000 formal investigations, no cases have yet been referred to the review board; thus federal funds have never been terminated for noncompliance.
