A. The names of persons receiving public assistance, the names of children with disabilities receiving special education and related services and the names of families/children receiving early intervention services are confidential. Educational records of Medicaid-eligible children with disabilities are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the Illinois School Student Records Act.
