Records & Requests
The Meliora School is a public charter school. Families can request their child's education records, and any member of the public can request public records under Georgia's Open Records Act. Here's how each works and who to contact.
Education Records (FERPA)
Families and eligible students may request student education records, transcripts, enrollment verification, and other educational documents in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and school procedures.
A parent asking for their own child's records is a FERPA request, not an open records request, and is handled through the registrar at no cost.
