Summary
FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, plays a crucial role in protecting the privacy of student educational records. In this presentation, we will explore how FERPA influences the handling of educational data across various fields, why it’s important for all stakeholders to be aware of, and the potential penalties for non-compliance. This session is designed to provide valuable insights for students, parents, staff, and professionals in government and education, emphasizing the importance of data privacy in today’s digital world. Get ready for a session that will shed light on how privacy law shapes the way we protect personal data in the government and education sectors!
