When will you disclose student records? Learn your school’s current FERPA obligations.
Student privacy concerns are increasing dramatically this school year as educators face new challenges like ransomware attacks, and changing regulations regarding student gender identity. More than ever, it is important to verify and update your policies and procedures to ensure compliance with current laws.
