Directory Information Protection

Directory Information Protection refers to the regulations and practices that safeguard personally identifiable information about students, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers, from being publicly accessed or misused. In the context of education, it aims to balance the need for schools to share certain information (like honor rolls or graduation lists) while protecting students' privacy rights. Schools must inform families about what information can be shared and provide options to limit access, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure and students’ privacy is respected.
