Data Minimization. Only collect and use data that you need to analyze. Limit disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII). Only use enough information to get the job done in alignment with FERPA.
Apply De-Identification Techniques. De-identify PII wherever you can. Make sure individual students are not identifiable. Remove direct identifiers and aggregate data without compromising your efforts for analysis. Err on the side of data privacy.
Ensure Policy Compliance. Work with your school organization to put data governance policies in place. Align these policies with FERPA and the TASB policies already in effect. If working with a specific AI solution provider, require written agreements for safeguarding data.
