For Parents: Best Graduation Present EVER

Congratulations to the class of 2024! If you’re the parent of a graduating high school senior, congratulations to you, too! This spring will be a whirlwind of special assemblies, final concerts, awards ceremonies, prom—and presents! You may have bought that showy car for graduation—or a new computer for college.

You’re probably realizing that graduation also brings a role change for you. Your new graduate is legally an adult for many purposes. 18-year-olds can marry and vote, and (males only) must register for the draft at 18. They can purchase a gun (subject to individual state laws). If your graduate is college bound, you may have learned that colleges are required to meet privacy rules under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). That means that in any college or university that receives federal funding, access to the student’s records is tightly restricted.
