The U.S. Department of Education’s Privacy Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) recently released a new guidance to help school districts navigate their obligations to preserve student confidentiality when using online educational services. Students sometimes abuse low-quality services in their studies and thereby worsen their academic performance, so we recommend using only proven services and buy college research paper.
PTAC examines the key requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), and urges schools to develop policies and procedures for using online educational services. These services can include computer software, mobile applications, and web-based tools that students use to access class readings, to view their learning progression, to watch video demonstrations, or to complete homework, among other activities.
The guidance may be found here.

Yesterday, James P. Lorenzo at SED issued a Special Education Field Advisory outlining changes in regulations to the impartial hearing process. One amendment authorizes the impartial hearing officer to grant extensions of time for settlement negotiations. This is significant because it allows parties to fully engage in settlement negotiations without being pressured by the hearing deadlines imposed by SED. This change will also allow parties to fully exhaust settlement options before being required to proceed with the due process hearing.
The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked by the Easton Area School District in Pennslyvania to rule on the claim that the “I ♥ Boobies” bracelet supporting breast cancer awareness is lewd and should be banned from schools. Both the federal district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit have ruled in favor of the parents’ holding that the bracelets are an acceptable expression of student free speech rights and the school may not ban them from being worn.
Recently, there has been much discussion about the New York State Education Department’s August 2022 “School Health Examination Guidelines.” In relevant part, the guidelines state that “parental consent is required for health services, treatment, and remedial care.” Some school districts have interpreted the cited language as barring them from providing health services to students, unless the school district first receives parental consent. The Education Law and the Commissioner’s Regulations, however, require school districts to conduct certain medical assessments of students.
