Owasso School District vs Falvo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The United States Supreme Court issued its opinion Tuesday, February 19, 2002, in the peer grading case of Owasso Independent School District v. Falvo (No.00-1073). Ruling for the school district, the Supreme Court held that allowing students to score each other's tests and call out the grades does not violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion for the unanimous court, with Justice Scalia writing a concurring opinion that agreed with the judgment but took issue with some of the finer points of the opinion.
