Student Privacy Legislation Likely to be Enacted
Congress and the President are likely to approve new student privacy protections included in an education reform bill this week. The protections, which have already been approved by the House of Representatives, will grant parents greater control over how commercial interests can use survey instruments to profile schoolchildren. Senators Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Richard Shelby (R-AL) are the primary supporters of the protections.
