Arizona has undergone a number of changes in regards data privacy, governance, and retention. Recently.... PVSchools endeavors to stay on top of, adequately interpret and develop best practices in fulfilling these laws.

Arizona recently passed a law requiring parental consent prior to the administration of student surveys on the topics enumerated in PPRA and requires the state Board of Education to approve in a public meeting any student-level nonacademic data before it is included in the statewide longitudinal data system.
