Parents may inspect and review educational records of their students within 45 days of making a written request to the building principal. 

Parents may request that records be amended by the school where there is a belief that inaccuracies exist.  Such requests shall be made in writing and directed to the building principal. 

The school may disclose the contents of a student’s educational records to school officials having a legitimate educational interest without parental consent.  School officials include administrators, supervisors, counselors, teachers, support staff members, a school board member, or a person or company contracted by the district to perform a special task. 

The school may release directory information without parental consent, unless the parent has filed a written objection to releases with the principal of Three Rivers High School.  Directory information about a student includes:  Name, address, telephone number, date of birth, photograph, major field of study or grade, participation in school activities, dates of school attendance, honors and awards, and other general information generally found in yearbooks. 

Parents have a right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office in the U.S. Department of Education. 

The above parental rights transfer to the student when he or she turns 18 years of age or enters a post-secondary educational institution at any age.

Michigan recently updated the Youth Employment Standards Act to create a centralized youth employment permit system administered by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). 

Previously, work permits for minors were issued by local school districts and nonpublic schools. Beginning Oct. 2, 2026, permits will instead be managed through a single, statewide online system called the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP). The change creates a more consistent process across Michigan while improving efficiency, accountability and statewide oversight.

On October 10, 2024, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Public Act 146 of 2024 (now referred to as the K-12 Literacy and Dyslexia Law), which revised MCL 380.1280f (the Read by Grade Three Law). The law requires that the Michigan Department of Education notify parents/legal guardians of grade 3 students who scored not proficient in reading based on the English Language Arts (ELA) assessment on the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (MSTEP). Families will be notified by the school and the Michigan Department of Education if their student is not proficient.
