FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Schools
Under FERPA (20 U.S.C. 1232g), educational institutions must protect student education records on all retired devices. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines three sanitization categories: Clear, Purge, and Destroy. STS applies verified overwrite, degaussing, and physical shredding to render student data irrecoverable across all device classes, from Chromebooks and classroom tablets to district-wide laptop fleets, campus server equipment, and mobile devices used by faculty and administrative staff.
Every device processed for Country Walk institutions receives serial-number-specific documentation through our Country Walk certificate of destruction service, supporting FERPA compliance audit requirements and district records retention policies.
