ADA Accessibility
School websites are essential for sharing information and facilitating communication among students, parents, and the community. It’s crucial that these websites are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities, to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
Schools must comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) to shield students from harmful online content, ensuring a safe digital learning environment by mandating the use of internet filters on devices connected to federal funding. This is essential for meeting legal obligations and prioritizing student safety in the online educational space.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Schools must be COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) compliant to meet legal requirements and safeguard children under 13 from privacy breaches and online exploitation. Compliance ensures responsible handling of personal information, reassuring parents about the secure management of their children’s data in online environments.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Schools need to be FERPA compliant to safeguard the privacy of students’ educational records. FERPA ensures that schools protect sensitive information, such as grades and transcripts, and provides parents and eligible students with control over the disclosure of these records. Compliance with FERPA is not only a legal requirement but also crucial for building trust with students and their families.
School Email Compliance
Schools need to ensure they are archiving emails to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, maintain a transparent record of communication, and safeguard sensitive information. Email archives serve as a crucial resource for schools, helping them respond to legal inquiries, demonstrate compliance with laws such as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and manage potential disputes.
Student Medical Records
Schools should be HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant to protect the privacy and security of students’ health information. HIPAA regulations require strict measures for handling sensitive health data, ensuring confidentiality, and preventing unauthorized access or disclosure. By being HIPAA compliant, schools demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding students’ medical information, meeting legal obligations, and fostering trust among students, parents, and healthcare stakeholders in maintaining the privacy of health-related records.
