National PTA and Utah PTA Position Statements:
National PTA supports the ability of families and students to have reasonable control over the collection, warehousing and use of electronic student data, while also supporting the need for research and data analysis to improve student learning outcomes, instructional design and remedial supports. Additionally, National PTA supports current federal law (COPPA) that requires direct notice to parents and parental consent before an operator collects personally identifiable information and that privacy policies must be clear and accessible to families.
