Owasso Independent School District v. Falvo, 534 U.S. 426 (2002), was a case in which United States Supreme Court held (in favor of the school district) 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.
