The first thing that comes to my mind regarding whether a FERPA violation occurred is whether records were accessed and shared within the school for a legitimate educational purpose. Given her role as attendance secretary, and the very limited information provided by the question, it sounds like the information may have been shared for a legitimate educational purpose, and thus probably was not a FERPA violation. Keep in mind this is not formal legal advice. If this is still an issue, you should talk with a local education attorney about your specific situation to determine whether a violation has occurred, and what rights and remedies might be available.
