Even noncustodial parents have the right to know about progress of child. The only way this would not be done is by a specific court order. The noncustodial parent may even have report cards mailed to them.
Federal law dictates that both parents have equal access to their child’s records unless the school is shown a court order specifically revoking the noncustodial parent’s access for reasons such as abuse of the child or custodial parent.

Oh bad.. There is soo much trouble with kids in split relationships and the possiblity of more trouble , even to the extent of kidnapping..
Why would a teacher do such a thing?
Not aware. for any other reason it is scandalous!!
Somehow the principal of this school and all schools anywhere where this happens to make sure that all teachers in the school know ALWAYS which kids have and need protection.. like a sticker on attendance sheet of the day so that even a substitute teacher knows.
I think even a police officer shouldnt be given information either just because he is some kids dad. Otherwise,,, I can go in with whatever intent I may have.. as a total stranger and say whatever I have to to make a teacher believe my good intentions and thereby gather all kinds of info about you or your kid.
Gees.. teachers!! respond here!!

That is the problem. The rules are different in each divorce. If there is a problem, it is the custodial parents duty to make sure there is a letter in the file and to talk to the teacher so everyone knows what the rules in that divorce are about what types of information can be shared. I have parents where the child's non-custodial parent is allowed picture day information, but not report cards. Or they are allowed the opposite. Or both of those, but can't pick him/her up without a note, etc. There are endless variations.

This is only determined by the legal papers that are shared with the school. It must be on file and your parent would need to have spoken directly with an administrator about this. In addition, it is also important for each of the teachers to be informed. Take the extra step.

Yeah, the issue is one of legality and documentation. Our students/parents fill out paperwork at the beginning of each schoolyear and are asked to indicate parent status and give info about release of information. That info is not always given to teachers though. I would discuss this with the teacher first. If it happens again, if you have already discussed it with the teacher before, or if it is a matter of safety, I would take it to the school administrators. It's always good to follow the chain of command. If you have not spoken with the teacher about it yet, please do so. Then go from there.

Yes, but it needs to be clearly spelled out to every teacher. For example; I had a parent come to conferences. He said that he was Scott's dad. I told him all about Scott. The next day I said "I met your dad last night." Scott said "Really? Wow. I haven't talked to him in months." I was pretty surprised; I did not know that Scott did not live with his dad. If the teacher is not aware that iformation should not be shared then it is not her fault. Of course if you told the counselor and/or principal then it is his job to tell the teachers.

yes they can, they would be reprimanded, but it depends on where you live, in NY they cannot give out that information and it's written on the childs file. My brother had that problem with his ex wife and she was refused information and complained to all his family she could find about what a jerk he was to block her access to at least how her kid was doing.

Yes but it has to be on record that no information is to be given to the other parent.

It's at least unethical. It would seem the school administration would have policies against that.
