What it requires
- If you are a public school corporation or educational institution, or the lawful custodian of its records, keep personal information in records regarding a student, prospective student or former student confidential, unless a court, the lawful custodian of the records or another person duly authorized to release the information orders otherwise (Iowa Code 22.7(1)).

What record it asks for
Logging duty
Subsection 1 of section 22.7 makes personal information in student records confidential and permits two disclosures. It names no log or record of processing, so the row takes no logging duty.

What this law does
Section 22.7, subsection 1 of the Iowa Code, in the open records chapter, provides that personal information in records regarding a student, prospective student or former student, maintained, created, collected or assembled by or for a school corporation or educational institution, shall be kept confidential, unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release the information.
The subsection does not prohibit a postsecondary education institution from disclosing to a parent or guardian information about a student under twenty-one who committed a disciplinary violation involving the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance, and does not prohibit a school corporation or educational institution from transferring student records electronically to the department of education, a school or an accredited postsecondary institution under section 256.9, subsection 44.
The history note of section 22.7 traces it to section 68A.7 of the Code of 1971 and states no day on which subsection 1 took effect.
