Student information privacy (personally identifiable student information)

One of the strictest state student-data laws: it bars local school officials from collecting sensitive information (such as political or religious beliefs, family income, biometric information, gun ownership, home IP address) unless a parent volunteers it, and bars disclosing personally identifiable student information except in narrow, mostly parent-authorized cases. It limits who may access school computer systems, sets mandatory privacy and security terms for vendor contracts, and bans selling or using student data for advertising or other commercial purposes. A companion section requires the Department of Education and school systems to publish their student-data transfer agreements.
