Is Student Data Safe During Apopka School Equipment Recycling?
Under FERPA 34 CFR Part 99, Apopka schools must protect personally identifiable information on all retired devices. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, media sanitization requires Clear, Purge, or Destroy-level methods to render student data irretrievable. IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report shows the average breach costs $4.88 million, and certified destruction through STS Electronic Recycling prevents exposure from improperly disposed school devices.
When Apopka school technology coordinators need to verify that student data is permanently protected, STS Electronic Recycling provides NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant destruction with chain-of-custody documentation retained for district compliance records. A single improperly disposed device creates FERPA exposure. Most K-12 technology coordinators choose NAID AAA certified vendors specifically to eliminate that risk.
