FERPA and E-mailing grades

[Robert Meyers <remeyers () MAIL WVU EDU>]

After a lot of time googling this topic, I'd appreciate comments from the group regarding faculty using e-mail to send 
grades to individual students. While it may be obvious that sending grades to a public account like gMail isn't a good 
idea, what about internal mail systems? Do you have specific policies or communications from the US Dept of Ed on this 
topic?
 
Thanks
 
Bob
