This document provides an overview of Consent for Release of Information. If you do not need an overview, skip this page and proceed with adding or editing a release form.
What is Release of Information?
The Hawaii State Department of Education is prohibited by law to release any education records or personally identifiable information without the written consent of the eligible student or parent. The Consent for Release of Information form can be used to gain clearance for DOE to:
Receive information - Allow DOE to receive specified information from another named party.
Release information - Allow DOE to release specified information to another named party.
NOTE: Older releases may have Exchange as the Consent Type. This type is no longer used in the current HAR 64 form, but these types indicate that the DOE gained authorization to exchange specified information to and from another named party (e.g., non-profit organization releasing observation records).
You can complete the Consent for Release of Information form and print it through eCSSS.
Some schools are able to collect signatures from parents electronically.
