Requires schools to get parent permission before sharing student information with outside organizations.
The problem
Schools may share student data with third parties without clear parent knowledge or consent, raising privacy concerns for families.
The proposal
Mandates schools obtain written parental opt-in approval before disclosing student information to external organizations or businesses.
The impact
Parents gain control over student data sharing. Schools face new administrative requirements. Third-party organizations may have reduced data access for research and services.
Parents can control who accesses their child's personal information. This gives families more say in how schools handle sensitive student data. Privacy rights are strengthened.
Parents must actively approve data sharing, keeping them informed about school practices. Families become more engaged in decisions affecting their children.
Schools cannot sell or share student information to marketing companies or data brokers without permission. This stops commercial exploitation of student records.
Clear rules about data handling make parents feel more confident in schools. Transparency strengthens the relationship between families and education systems.
Schools must create systems to track and manage opt-in consent for each student. This requires extra staff time and resources to implement properly.
Researchers studying education programs may have trouble accessing student data. This could slow down important studies that help improve schools and teaching methods.
Some helpful programs—like college counseling or college recruitment—require data sharing. Opt-in requirements might prevent students from learning about opportunities.
Schools must spend money on new systems and training to follow the rule. These costs could strain school budgets, especially in poorer districts.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
