Protecting Privacy in Data Collection and Reporting

Both Federal and New York State Laws govern privacy issues regarding Student and Staff data.  In developing procedures and processes to collect and report this data, it is necessary to incorporate safeguards to protect the privacy of the individuals to whom the data pertain.  The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has developed several resources to provide guidance on privacy issues related to the collection and reporting of Student and Staff data.  The following links provide specific information about related topics.
