Is Student Data Safe During Orlando School Electronics Recycling?

Under FERPA (34 CFR Part 99), student educational records on disposed devices must be rendered unreadable and irretrievable. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite or physical destruction with documented audit trails. STS Electronic Recycling provides certified destruction meeting both standards for Orlando educational institutions, with serial-number-specific certificates issued for every device processed.

Most district technology coordinators expect serial-number-specific certificates of destruction for FERPA audit reviews. This is standard for every STS engagement with Orlando K-12 districts and universities. Full Sail University and Rollins College in Winter Park rely on NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction services in Orlando for faculty and administrative system disposal. According to the IBM 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average education sector breach costs $3.4 million. Certified media sanitization prevents exposure from improperly disposed devices.
