For many students and educators, back to school this year means a return to extended remote learning. But teaching and learning for a longer period of time in this new environment — which is often virtual and technology-heavy — can make it harder for schools to protect student data. School leaders and teachers, in particular, are worried about violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) , which protects the privacy of student education records, when holding classes online.
