Response Notes
Responsive to this request, no records reflect gym time being rescinded for Howard County Youth Program use of HCPSS facilities. For reference, the email included below explains the request and permit process and specifically HCPSS’ work with Howard County Youth Program to find available space. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), which restricts access to student records, and MPIA GP § 4-313, which prevents disclosure of school district records pertaining to individual students, we have redacted any reference to a particular student, or personally identifiable information that would reveal student information from the responsive records.
