Education interest continued

Because of this need, FERPA does allow us to share information with those (usually within the university) who have a legitimate education interest.

Legitimate education interest is:

Justifiable access to education records due to educational or job-related duties. Records may be disclosed to university employees on a need-to-know basis. Curiosity doesn’t count! 
Employees may view only the information they need to perform job duties.
