Understanding FERPA Compliance in School Software
For educational institutions, protecting student information isn't just a priority; it's a legal requirement under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This act governs how schools collect, use, and share student information. However, ensuring that event and volunteer management tools comply with FERPA can be daunting.
The Challenge of FERPA Compliance
Many schools struggle with finding software solutions that enhance event planning and volunteer management without compromising student privacy. The penalties for non-compliance can be severe, including the potential loss of federal funding.
