The Family Compliance Policy Office of the U.S. Department of Education, together with the newly-created Privacy Technical Assistance Center, will host a webinar on January 11 to discuss new FERPA regulations. The webinar will summarize the recent regulatory changes, then focus primarily on new requirements for data sharing. As we've shared before, these requirements can be very technical and confusing. Agency officials are expected to share "best practices," which may help navigate these dangerous waters. In light of the Department's pledge to increase FERPA enforcement efforts, it's important to understand how the agency views schools' obligations under the new regulatory scheme.
