The applicant mother brought a motion for non-party disclosure of her adult son's school records from the school board, to support her claim in a Motion to Change that he had withdrawn from parental control.
The respondent father consented, but the school board opposed, citing statutory privilege under s. 266 of the Education Act.
The court held that while report cards and attendance records are privileged as they relate to the improvement of instruction, the student's enrollment form is not covered by the privilege.
The court ordered the school board to produce the enrollment form but dismissed the motion for disclosure of other student records.
