Why other case pages are withheld
Chino Valley’s September 2026 order is reported by counsel, but its full signed scope was not independently reviewed. Mahmoud is used as a primary curriculum-rights precedent; post-remand local implementation was not audited sufficiently for a new district case page.

Direct answers and FAQ
Does FERPA always require a school to volunteer information?
FERPA records inspection and affirmative parent notification are different questions. The federal April 2025 OSPI letter expressly distinguishes them. State law and case-specific constitutional relief can add obligations.
Can I treat an investigation as proof of a violation?
No. This tracker labels agency allegations, findings, proposed and signed agreements, filed lawsuits and court relief separately.
