Adds adefinition for personally identifiable student-level data. Personally identifiable student-level data must not be disclosed to any other third party unless the disclosure is necessary to meet (1) a legitimate need for the data to support the particular student's education; or (2) the needs of an educational study or educational purpose specifically authorized by a public agency. However, nothing limits disclosure of information allowed under FERPA. A provision is added that allows personally identifiable student-level data to be disclosed without prior written consent if the entity is a designated education agency that abides by the data security requirements. OSPI and school districts may release directory information for the purpose of making available to parents and students school enhancement products and services as authorized by OSPI and the school districts, as long as any outside party receiving directory information for these purposes is prohibited from secondary use or sale of the information and is required to comply with all other requirements. Directory information has the meaning assigned in FERPA and corresponding regulations. School enhancement products and services mean school-related products and services that are customarily offered under the direction or for the benefit of the public agency, organization, or school community, such as school photography, yearbooks, graduation products, and class rings.
