Student Data Privacy

Student Data Privacy and Cyber Security

Schools and school districts have always collected data on students. Instead of paper files, much of that data is now collected through computers and online resources. While the systems for organizing and managing this information have changed over the years, our school’s/school district’s commitment to confidentiality remains the same.

It is our responsibility to ensure the security of each student’s education record and we take that responsibility very seriously. There are also existing federal and state laws in place that protect student information.
