Understanding FERPA in the Context of School Events
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. For schools, this means any tool, including software for managing events and volunteers, must comply with FERPA's stringent guidelines. The challenge? Many platforms overlook this critical requirement, putting student data at risk.
The Risks of Non-Compliance with FERPA
Non-compliance with FERPA isn't just about legal repercussions; it's about the trust between schools and families. Using non-compliant tools for event planning or volunteer signups can lead to unintentional exposure of student information, damaging this essential trust and potentially incurring legal penalties.
