School District Five is generally prohibited from releasing personally identifiable information and education records about students pursuant to a federal law known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act specifically excludes from disclosure “[i]nformation of a personal nature where the public disclosure thereof would constitute unreasonable invasion of personal privacy.” S.C. Code Ann. § 30-4-40(a)(2) (1991).


“Education records” include “those records, files, documents and other materials which – (i) contain information directly related to a student; and (ii) are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution.”  20 USC § 1232g(a)(4)(A).  FERPA regulations make clear that District records identifiable to a particular student are protected by FERPA. A record is a student's education record if it contains “personally identifiable information,” which is defined to include, among other things, "… information that, alone or in combination, is linked or linkable to a specific student that would allow a reasonable person in the school community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty; or information requested by a person who the educational agency or institution reasonably believes knows the identity of the student to whom the education record relates."  34 CFR § 99.3.

Please accept this as our final determination and response regarding your request.  Additionally, please be advised that the district’s good faith efforts to respond to your records request should in no way be interpreted or construed as the district’s agreement with the manner in which you have characterized certain records you have requested.

 Pursuant to the FOIA, access to public records is limited to South Carolina citizens.  The purpose of South Carolina's FOIA is to both ensure "citizens shall be advised of performance of public officials..." and "to make it possible for citizens, or their representatives, to learn and report fully the activities of their public officials..." S.C. Code §30-4-15.  Consistent with the stated purpose of the FOIA to inform citizens of South Carolina of the activities of their public officials, section 100 of the FOIA limits relief under the FOIA to "[a]ny citizen of the State."

The United States Supreme Court addressed and upheld a similar limitation in Virginia's FOIA.  In McBurney v. Young, 133 S.Ct. 1709 (2013), the Supreme Court held that Virginia's FOIA, which grants Virginia citizens access to public records, but grants no such right to non-Virginians, is reasonable and does not violate the Constitution's Privilege and Immunities Clause or Dormant Commerce Clause.  Like Virginia, South Carolina's public bodies are not obliged by the FOIA to further burden their taxpayers and citizens with the production of records under FOIA to non-citizens.

Based on your named company, it does not appear that you are a South Carolina citizen.  However, School District Five will be happy to reconsider the request if we are mistaken.  Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

School District Five will not be able to provide responsive records pursuant to this request due to the fact that the District is generally prohibited from releasing personally identifiable information and education records about students pursuant to a federal law known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), subject to certain exceptions.


“Education records” include “those records, files, documents and other materials which – (i) contain information directly related to a student; and (ii) are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a person acting for such agency or institution.”  20 USC § 1232g(a)(4)(A).  FERPA regulations make clear that District records identifiable to a particular student are protected by FERPA. A record is a student's education record if it contains “personally identifiable information,” which is defined to include, among other things, "… information that, alone or in combination, is linked or linkable to a specific student that would allow a reasonable person in the school community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty; or information requested by a person who the educational agency or institution reasonably believes knows the identity of the student to whom the education record relates."  34 CFR § 99.3.

In addition, please be advised that, according to the 2025-26 Rules and Regulations of the South Carolina High School League, the Weight Management program for wrestlers is only required for students in grades 9-12.
