Under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), student records can be disclosed without consent primarily when students transfer to another school. This provision ensures that the receiving school can access essential educational records that facilitate a smooth transition and support the student's educational needs. The idea behind this allowance is to promote continuity in education and enable the new institution to understand the student's academic history, performance, and any specific requirements for their learning.

The other options do not align with FERPA's stipulations. For example, sharing records with family members for personal reasons does not qualify under the act's permissible disclosures without parental consent. Similarly, disclosing records to external organizations for research would typically require consent unless the information is de-identified. Lastly, sharing information with community members, even for supportive programs, generally necessitates consent unless the community programs are directly connected to the school and fall within a different category of permissible sharing.
