FERPA-Compliant Student Data Destruction for Belle Glade Schools
STS Electronic Recycling serves Palm Beach County School District facilities across The Glades, where student records on retired classroom devices must be rendered irretrievable before leaving institutional custody. Per FERPA under 34 CFR Part 99, STS applies NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant destruction to every device, producing certified Certificates of Destruction matched to each district serial number.
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, media sanitization requires verified purge-level overwrite or physical destruction; STS delivers this documentation on every Belle Glade data destruction engagement. Physical shredding to quarter-inch particle size is available for drives that cannot be overwritten, covering SSDs, HDDs, and flash-based student devices.
District Technology Coordinators typically expect complete serial-number certificates of destruction matching existing asset inventory systems, included in every STS engagement for Belle Glade schools. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the average breach costs $4.88 million; FERPA-compliant disposal eliminates this risk from improperly retired student devices.
