Ensuring student data privacy is a key focus of Rockcastle County Schools. In today's digital world where technology plays a central role in education, the importance of protecting the privacy of student data cannot be overstated.

Protecting sensitive information like academic records, personal details, and online activities not only safeguards students' rights, but also fosters trust within the learning community. Federal legislation establishes clear guidelines for handling student data, emphasizing the need for informed consent, secure storage, restricted access, and transparent data practices. Compliance with these laws not only reduces the risk of data breaches and identity theft but also cultivates ethical standards within our educational institutions.

By prioritizing student data privacy, public school districts uphold core principles of confidentiality, integrity, and accountability, thereby creating a secure and supportive environment for student learning and development.
