The U.S. Department of Education's (Department's or ED's) Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) and its Privacy Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) are conducting a four-year review of the websites of 1,504 Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to identify whether and how these websites include information on student privacy. The review is part of ED's Strategic Plan Goal 3.2 to improve student privacy and cybersecurity. SPPO is responsible for administering the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA). As part of improving student privacy, the study will provide an annual snapshot of LEA websites for each year of the study, as well as conduct a final trend analysis. The focus of the study is on LEA best practices and compliance in providing information on federal student privacy law and will determine whether changes occur over the four years of the study based on what is posted on LEA websites. In year one of the study, a nationally representative sample of 376 LEA websites was reviewed to evaluate usage of student data privacy transparency best practices. The sample was selected to represent school districts of different sizes and socio-economic status across different geographic regions. The LEA website review focused on identifying key privacy related documents or information on the LEA district website vs on the board or individual school websites.
