Back to School with FERPA: Student Privacy Matters More Than Ever

As students head back into classrooms, it’s the perfect time to revisit how we’re protecting their most sensitive data.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal safeguard for student privacy. Enacted in 1974, FERPA gives parents and eligible students rights over educational records and ensures schools, service providers, and educational institutions are held accountable for how they manage student information.

In today’s digital-first learning environments, those responsibilities have only grown more complex. From online portals and cloud storage to third-party edtech platforms, student data is constantly collected, stored, and shared. FERPA ensures that this data is handled with care—and that unauthorized disclosures are avoided.

🛡️ Who Needs to Comply?

FERPA applies to any school or educational agency that receives funding from the U.S. Department of Education. That includes public schools, colleges, universities, and even third-party vendors like software providers, call centers, and tutoring services that interact with student records.

Whether you're in IT, administration, support services, or an education-adjacent industry, understanding FERPA is critical to your compliance posture and your reputation.
