Student Privacy in Practice: FERPA, PPRA, and Emerging Enforcement Risks

What schools, districts, and states need to know about records, surveys, AI, and parent complaints in 2026

Recorded on April 21, 2026

This webinar provides a practical overview of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), with a focus on how these laws are being interpreted and enforced today. Participants will examine common compliance pitfalls, recent enforcement trends, and the growing role of student data and technology, including the use of AI-driven tools in schools.

The session moves beyond high-level summaries to focus on real-world decision points schools face when responding to parent requests, handling surveys and sensitive information, sharing data with vendors, and managing privacy obligations during investigations and complaints. The webinar will also highlight emerging risks and best practices to help schools and educational agencies assess and strengthen their current privacy practices.

Designed for school attorneys, administrators, and compliance professionals, this training equips participants with a clearer understanding of student privacy requirements and how to apply them in day-to-day operations.
