Is Student Data Safe During Louisville School Electronics Recycling?
Under FERPA 34 CFR Part 99 requirements, student education records stored on school-issued electronic devices must be rendered inaccessible before equipment disposal. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction — STS provides certified destruction meeting both federal standards.
Secure data destruction is essential when recycling school electronics in Louisville. Technology directors at Jefferson County Public Schools coordinate district-wide summer pickups when student Chromebooks and computer labs are refreshed.
