Thank you for your responses.  (Kevin, Carolann, Barbara, Scott, Ken,
and Joel..and anybody else I might have missed)

It appears everyone is in agreement that network account credentials
belong solely to the student and should remain as such.

Do you have a policy (or awareness medium) which specifically addresses
the scope of FERPA to specifically exclude electronic credentials?

If a student has signed an "Authorization to Release Student

disclosure of a student's login & password to allow that parent access
to that student's electronic student records or other accounts?
