FERPA & NIST 800-88 Compliance for Alabama Schools
Under FERPA 20 U.S.C. §1232g, student education records on disposed devices must be protected from unauthorized access. Schools must ensure electronic media is completely sanitized or destroyed before leaving district custody. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 requirements, media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite or physical destruction for all storage devices. STS provides certified data destruction in Muscle Shoals and NAID AAA certified destruction meeting both standards, with serial-number-specific certificates for every K-12 engagement documenting device, method, and destruction date.

Is Student Data Safe During School Electronics Recycling?
Under HIPAA and FERPA requirements, education records on disposed devices must be rendered completely inaccessible. 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 standards for every school district engagement in Muscle Shoals.
School IT coordinators at organizations like Northwest-Shoals Community College (4,071 students) require verified, serial-level documentation before equipment leaves district custody. According to a 2025 CIS/CoSN survey, 82% of U.S. K-12 schools experienced a cyber incident in a recent 18-month period, making documented chain-of-custody essential.
