Protects the privacy of student education records
You may send sensitive information via SMS but only if the user has been presented with the risks and expressly consented.
“… you must be sure that you are texting with a secure, FERPA-compliant system…”
Schools must get consent from parents before asking children about specific personal information
Ensure SMS systems can quickly send consent forms to parents.
Sending of communications regarding non-school-related information must comply with general texting consent provisions
Organizations including government-funded schools are restricted to use text messaging and automated calls to deliver information to their constituents around the area unless they obtain explicit permission (opt-in) of the owner of the phone number.
Good practice requires auditing a digital property as it relates to children’s privacy, parental notice and consent, and best practices for safer online communities.
Parental consent is required before students may freely message
