Parents’ Bill of Rights for Data Safety and Security
The purpose of the Parents’ Bill of rights is to inform parents (which also includes legal guardians or persons in parental relation to the student, but generally not
the parents of a student who is age eighteen or over) of the legal requirements regarding privacy, security and use of student data. In addition to the Federal Family
Educational Rights and Privacy ACT (FERPA), Education Law §2-d provides important new protections for student data, and new remedies for breaches of the
responsibility to maintain the security and confidentiality of such data.
