The school counselors of one state were surveyed about the methods they employed in releasing pupil personnel information to requesting sources. Results indicated that while the methods used to release such data varied by type of information and requesting agency, complete confidentiality was rarely, if ever, extended to school‐age clients. Information concerning the educational progress and vocational development of the client was most readily shared with others. While most requested information was released in some form, other school personnel were most likely to receive unabridged data.
