I need legal advice/help ASAP regarding a HUGE issue with my school's policies about

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TEXAS

I'm seeking advice regarding the use of confidential information.


I as a sophomore was informed by my friend who asked the counselor through electronic communication (an email) that a class i signed up for would be an honors course .


A year has passed and i now find myself in the class. It hasn't become honors; when i asked the counselor to switch me out and into another honors course she said you need proof that you were told it is an honors course. I said "i was told the class would be honors by you" . And she denied it!

So now i am going to print the email that my friend received from her a year ago stating that the class would be honors and show her that she DID say that the class would be honors.

But I am afraid because the email states this at the end " Notice of Confidentiality: This electronic communication contains confidential student record information intended solely for school business by the individual to whom it is addressed. Any disclosure (verbal or in print), copying, distribution, or use of this information by an unauthorized person is prohibited."


Do you guys know of any laws that would let me use the email as proof that I was told by her that the class would be honors even though it was addressed to my friend?

Also on our school scheduling sheets where we pick classes the course was listed as an honors class. So are there any laws regarding misinformation and how I was deceived that could help me switch classes?

PLEASEE HELP ME!!!

If you have a copy of the school's scheduling sheet that showed it as an honors class then that would likely be more useful to you than your friend's email.

But you weren't. The email was not sent to you. YOU were not told a damned thing by her or anyone else. You might be able to make the point that your friend was told, but YOU were not told diddly.

If your friend gave you the email, then you have no problem. Your friend is authorized to show his email to anyone he wants. HOWEVER, it may not help you since YOU are still not the person who was told that it would be an honors course, and things may have changed in the last year. But you never know until you try.
