Questions

KAP updates

What is PII?

 Personally identifiable information (PII) is any
 data that could potentially identify a specific
 individual. Any information that can be used to
 distinguish one person from another and can
 be used for de-anonymizing anonymous data
 can be considered PII.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Personally identifiable information (PII) must not be
conveyed when testing issues are reported.

The documentation for Kansas regarding allowable identifiers
in an email specify that only the Student State ID
number and no other identifying details should be provided
in an email.

When Contacting the Service Desk:

Do not send any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for a
student via email. This is a federal violation of the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). PII includes such
information as a student’s name, building name, or district
name.

Do send the student ID number, the test the students are
taking (ELA, math, science, predictive interim, mini-test) and
the error or concern you are reporting regarding the test
taker.
