§ 22-16-102 — Legislative declaration

Colorado § 22-16-102

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 22: Education
• Art.: Student Data Transparency and Security

Text

The general assembly recognizes that,
with the increasing use of technology in education, it is imperative that information
that identifies individual students and their families is vigilantly protected from
misappropriation and misuse that could harm students or their families. The general
assembly also finds, however, that there are many positive ways in which a
student's personally identifiable information may be used to improve the quality of
the education the student receives and to positively impact the educational and
career outcomes that the student achieves. The general assembly finds, therefore,
that student data can be both protected and positively applied by increasing the
level of transparency regarding, and specifying and enforcing limitations on, the
collection, use, storage, and destruction of student data.
