Outcome

The court granted motions to dismiss all claims. The FERPA claim failed because the distributed information was not a school record and FERPA does not create a private cause of action. The Section 1981 discrimination claim failed because plaintiffs provided no factual allegations that the principal's actions were motivated by race.
