Impact on Children: 

Parents and families have the expectation that their children's personal information will not be shared with outside organizations when they give it to their child's school. Other LEAs should need permission from the parents before receiving ANY information about a minor student.

National: Student Data Privacy and Security

PTA supports the ability of families and students to have reasonable control over the collection, warehousing and use of electronic student data, while also supporting the need for remedial supports. Additionally, National PTA supports current federal law (COPPA) that requires direct notice to parents/guardians and parental/guardian consent before an operator collects personally identifiable information and that privacy policies must be clear and accessible to families.
