Online Fax for Wyoming Schools, Districts, and Colleges
School districts, the University of Wyoming, and the state's community colleges still move student records by fax: transcripts between schools, special education files, enrollment and immunization forms, and records requests from other states. The Wyoming Department of Education and federal student privacy law expect those transfers to stay confidential and traceable.
Regulations & Compliance
Student records held by Wyoming schools and the Wyoming Department of Education are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which restricts disclosure of education records and requires that transfers go only to authorized recipients. Special education files carry additional handling duties under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), administered in the state through the department's special programs division. A faxed transcript or IEP needs to reach the intended school official and leave a record that the disclosure was tracked, which is one reason fax remains common for record transfers between districts and across state lines.
