Faxing to Chicago Public Schools — FAQ
FERPA, not HIPAA, is the law that governs a student's file at Chicago Public Schools. Health information a school maintains for a student falls under FERPA, since the school is not a HIPAA-covered entity for those records. In practice that means a parent or guardian authorization governs releasing the records.
No. Chicago Public Schools runs many schools, so an individual school and the student records office do not share a number. As a large urban school district, it splits incoming faxes across the student records office, the departments, and the schools. Confirm the correct line for the school or office you are reaching, and check it still accepts fax. Sending to the wrong school only delays the request.
Label each page with the student's name, date of birth, and current grade. Direct the cover sheet to the correct Chicago Public Schools school or office and include a number staff can call. Include a signed parent or guardian authorization when the request is for records that are not your own child's. Check the details once before you send so nothing bounces back.
The line accepts faxes around the clock; staff processing depends on the office and the school calendar. The offices that process records and enrollment keep standard weekday hours. A request sent overnight is picked up the next business day, and processing slows during back-to-school registration. A brief follow-up call confirms a time-sensitive fax to Chicago Public Schools was seen.
