Disclosure Avoidance

In a dual-enrollment program, a student is enrolled in both high school and a postsecondary institution, receiving high school credit for successfully completing college coursework. FERPA provides the right to parents and eligible students to inspect and review the student’s education records, but accessing education records for dually enrolled students can be complicated. This infographic explains how FERPA’s right to access student education records may be impacted by where the education records are maintained and by who is requesting access. It also explains how FERPA’s prior written consent requirement – and the exceptions to that requirement – impact access rights.

With this webinar we hope to expand the conversation around education data transfer and blockchain technologies. Join us for a conversation around the privacy implications to sharing data throughout a lifelong learner’s journey.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is working with Census to share updates on the 2020 Census.

The Data Breach Scenario Trainings are a series of packaged trainings developed by the Privacy Technical Assistance Center, designed to help educational organizations at all levels conduct internal staff development on data breaches.

Letter on the applicability of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to the disclosure by IHEs or postsecondary institutions of certain personally identifiable information (PII) from student education records to representatives of the U.S. Census Bureau (Bureau) in connection with the 2020 Census.

This guidance document consists of thirty-seven commonly asked questions about schools’ and school districts’ responsibilities under FERPA relating to disclosures of student information to school resource officers (SROs), law enforcement units and others, and seeks to explain and clarify how FERPA protects student privacy while ensuring the health and safety of students and others in the school community.
