    About

    The guide helps parents understand K-12 school data breaches. It describes what a data breach is and explains FERPA, a law protecting student information. If there's a breach, it suggests confirming if your child's data was affected, assessing the risk, and taking steps like changing passwords or monitoring accounts to reduce harm. Parents can file complaints if rights are violated under FERPA. The U.S. Department of Education offers resources for dealing with breaches and understanding privacy rights through their website or contact options provided in the guide.
