Student Privacy Protection Act

Summary

Student Privacy Protection Act - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to require State and local educational agencies (SEAs and LEAs) that receive ESEA funds to: (1) develop policies regarding in-school commercialization activities in consultation with parents; and (2) provide notice to parents regarding such policies and any changes to such policies, including locally developed exceptions. Prohibits such SEAs and LEAs, unless they have given an explanation and obtained parents' written permission, from: (1) disclosing data or information gathered from a student to persons or entities that seek such disclosure to benefit their commercial interests; or (2) assisting or permitting by contract such persons or entities in gathering such information for such purpose. Allows locally-developed exceptions to such consent requirements. Allows SEAs and LEAs to use certain ESEA funds to enhance parental involvement in areas affecting children's in-school privacy.
