Educational records including weekly work

You are the principal of a Middle School.  You receive a telephone call from the Fulton region of Atlanta.  An individual identifies herself as the parent (mother) of Sally Brown, an eighth-grade student in your school.  The caller claiming to be the mother requests a copy of all her educational records including weekly work and any other communication shared with her father.   She states that she obviously cannot travel to your school to review the records and would like you to send Sally’s records to her.  The records can be mailed to Atlanta State Prison, care of the Natural Mother (#67101), Atlanta, GA.
You review Sally’s enrollment data.  Upon her father enrolling Sally, he did not identify who the mother was-nor does the birth certificate he provided when he enrolled Sally.
Meanwhile, Sally’s teacher is strenuously objecting to any contact with a parent who is incarcerated.

1.    Do you telephone the father and inform him of the request?  If so, why?  If not, why?  After talking with the father, he denies that the Natural Mother is the mother of Sally and directs you not to produce the educational records for her.
2.    Do you have any questions for the father?  What do you tell him?  How would you handle this issue according to FERPA?
3.    How will you explain your final decision to the teacher?
