FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Waco Schools

Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verified purge-level overwrite or physical destruction for devices containing student PII. STS implements cryptographic erasure, multi-pass overwrite, and physical shredding rendering all records irretrievable, with serialized certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody documentation formatted for district compliance audits.

According to a 2024 Comparitech analysis, U.S. schools have experienced 3,713 data breaches exposing 37.6 million records since 2005 — improperly disposed devices are a primary vector. Our Waco data destruction services provide the documented FERPA proof protecting Waco ISD and Baylor University administrators from this exposure.
