§3913. Transfer of personally identifiable student information
A.(1) Parents and citizens are increasingly concerned about the commercial and
criminal uses of student information. It is therefore the intent of this Section to ensure that
parents and citizens have an accurate picture of those transfers. The legislature finds that,
if they are provided accurate information, parents and citizens will be in a better position to
judge the validity and safety of various transfers and to bring focused pressure to bear on
policy makers when they have concerns.
(2) The purpose of this Section is to increase awareness of the transfer of student
information by requiring the state Department of Education and public school governing
authorities to make such information available to the public.
B. By January 1, 2015, the state Department of Education shall make available on
its website information about the transfer of personally identifiable student information.
Such information shall include but need not be limited to all of the following:
(1) A profile of each authorized recipient of such information.
(2) A copy of the signed agreement between the department and the authorized
recipient.
(3) A complete listing of all of the data elements authorized to be transferred.
(4) A statement of the intended use of the information, including references to legal
authority or legal requirements associated with the transfer of such information.
(5) The name and contact information of the individual serving as the primary point
of contact for inquiries about the agreement.
(6) A process by which parents of students attending public schools may register a
complaint related to the unauthorized transfer of personally identifiable student information.
C. By January 1, 2015, the governing authority of each public school shall make
available at the main office of the governing authority information about the transfer of
personally identifiable student information. Such information shall include but need not be
limited to all of the following, to the extent such information is obtainable:
(1) A profile of each authorized recipient of such information.
(2) A copy of the signed agreement between the governing authority of the public
school and the authorized recipient.
(3) A complete listing of all of the data elements authorized to be transferred.
(4) A statement of the intended use of the information, including references to legal
authority or legal requirements associated with the transfer of such information.
(5) The name and contact information of the individual serving as the primary point
of contact for inquiries about the agreement.
(6) A process by which parents of students attending public schools may register a
complaint related to the unauthorized transfer of personally identifiable student information.
D. The information specified in Paragraphs (B)(1) through (5) and (C)(1) through
(5) of this Section shall be made available as specified in this Section no later than ten
business days following the execution of an agreement providing for a transfer of personally
identifiable student information and shall remain available for the duration of the agreement.
