家长知情权成执法焦点：教育部向洛杉矶学区采取行动，并对多州学区启动性不当行为调查
美国教育部10月9日发布一组动态，其中多项涉及孩子在校信息与校园安全。教育部与司法部向全美各州总检察长发出联合信，重申在《家庭教育权利和隐私法》（FERPA）与《学生权利保护修正案》（PPRA）之下，父母对孩子的教育握有主导权。
教育部同时宣布对洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）采取执法行动，指该学区的政策将敏感学生信息对家长保密。
在校园安全方面，教育部民权办公室（OCR）启动名为“Pass the Trash”的《教育法第九条》（Title IX）调查，针对教职员对学生的性不当行为。调查对象包括纽约市教育局、科罗拉多州Jefferson County公立学校，以及加州、佐治亚、北卡罗来纳、密苏里、德克萨斯、弗吉尼亚等州的学区。
OCR还宣布扩大对宾夕法尼亚州Swarthmore College的《民权法第六条》（Title VI）反犹太主义调查，该调查已于10月7日启动。
教育部同日表示，2026财年已通过跨部门协议发放34亿美元以上的资助，并已创建约7,000万个“Trump Accounts”。
对在美华人家长而言，这组消息的落点很具体：孩子在学校的相关信息，家长依法享有权知情；孩子所在学区如何处理教职员不当行为、如何执行联邦民权法规，也正被置于更严密的联邦监督之下。（资料来源：美国教育部新闻稿）
Parents' Rights in the Enforcement Spotlight: Education Department Acts Against LAUSD and Opens Misconduct Probes Into Districts in Several States
The U.S. Department of Education announced a package of actions on October 9, several of them bearing directly on what parents are entitled to know about their children at school. In a joint letter with the Department of Justice to state attorneys general nationwide, the Department reaffirmed that under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), parents hold the primary role in directing their children's education.
The Department also announced an enforcement action against the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), saying the district's policies keep sensitive student information confidential from parents.
On campus safety, the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has opened Title IX investigations under the banner "Pass the Trash," targeting sexual misconduct by school staff against students. The targets include New York City's education department, Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado, and school districts in California, Georgia, North Carolina, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia.
OCR also announced it is expanding a Title VI antisemitism investigation into Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, an inquiry opened on October 7.
The Department said that in fiscal year 2026 it has delivered more than $3.4 billion in funding through interagency agreements, and that roughly 70 million "Trump Accounts" have been created.
For Chinese American parents, the takeaway is concrete: parents have a legal right to be informed about their children's school records, and how a school district handles staff misconduct and federal civil rights requirements is now under closer federal scrutiny.
