FRISCO, Texas — A Frisco ISD spokesperson has confirmed to WFAA that the school district received lawfully issued subpoenas in connection with an ongoing criminal case that resulted in the death of one student and the arrest of another for murder.
In the case State of Texas vs. Karmelo S. Anthony, prosecutors allege Anthony intentionally stabbed Austin Metcalf, a student-athlete at Frisco Memorial High School, during a dispute at an April 2 track meet.
The subpoenas requested student records related to the track meet, including a list of student attendees.
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), schools are generally prohibited from releasing personally identifiable student information without parental consent. However, FERPA allows such disclosures when required by a subpoena. Importantly, FERPA also mandates that schools notify families before releasing records in these cases, giving parents or eligible students (age 18+) the opportunity to take legal action if they choose.
To comply with these requirements, Frisco ISD sent letters to affected families on July 24, informing them of the subpoena and their rights under FERPA.
