Question 1

What records do Idaho schools fax most?

Accepted Answer

Student transcripts, special education records such as IEPs and evaluations, enrollment and withdrawal forms, immunization records, and verification requests between districts. Idaho registrars also fax transcripts to colleges, including the University of Idaho and Boise State University, when a student applies or transfers.

Question 2

Is faxing student records through Send FAX Mail FERPA-compliant?

Accepted Answer

Student education records are protected under FERPA, which requires Idaho schools to safeguard them when they are shared. Send FAX Mail encrypts every transmission with TLS and stores documents with AES-256, and the audit log shows when each record was sent and to which number, which supports the disclosure tracking FERPA expects.

Question 3

Can a small Idaho district run fax for several schools from one account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the service is online, a rural Idaho district can manage transcript requests and special education paperwork for multiple schools from a single account rather than keeping a fax machine at each building. Each school can have its own number, and selecting numbers is free.

Question 4

How much does fax service cost for an Idaho school office?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at $12.99 a month for a single office and scale up for larger districts and university registrar departments that send a higher volume of transcripts. There are no per-page charges: an Idaho district that outgrows its monthly page allowance moves up a plan rather than paying for individual pages. A 7-day free trial lets a registrar office try it before the district commits.

Question 5

Do Idaho teachers and staff need special software to receive a fax?

Accepted Answer

No. Incoming faxes arrive as a PDF in email, so a counselor reviewing a transferring student's records or a registrar processing an enrollment form just opens the attachment. Sending works from a browser, which helps staff who handle records from home or across more than one Idaho campus.
