Lege Trend: More States Move Fast to Protect Students. Districts Face $50,000 Fines per Breach.

A panel in rugged, independent Idaho is creating a task force to study:

  • how much student data is sold to third parties
  • how best to protect student data, and
  • how to reduce sharing student data. 

 State and federal agencies collect nearly 566 data points per student. Last year, Idaho passed a law that can fine school districts up to $50,000 for student data security breaches.
