Protecting Student Privacy in Your School

Protecting student privacy in schools involves safeguarding personal information about students, such as their academic records, health information, and behavioral data. Schools must implement policies and practices to ensure that this information is used appropriately and shared only with authorized personnel. This includes training staff on privacy laws, securing data storage, and communicating transparently with families about how student information is handled. By prioritizing privacy, schools create a safe environment where students can learn without fear of their personal information being misused or disclosed.
