FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Lufkin Schools
Under FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g), educational institutions must protect student education records on all disposed electronic devices. When Lufkin ISD retires student laptops or Angelina College decommissions lab computers, every data-bearing device must be sanitized or physically destroyed before disposal. STS Electronic Recycling provides certified destruction meeting this federal standard.
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verified purge-level overwrite or physical destruction, included in every STS engagement. Our chain of custody documentation ensures independent third-party verification and downstream tracking. Each pickup includes a full audit package with your Certificate of Destruction for Lufkin institutions, compatible with district compliance reporting and state education agency requirements.
