FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Schools

Our data destruction services support FERPA compliance through NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant sanitization methods, including cryptographic erasure, physical hard drive shredding, and degaussing for legacy magnetic media — all with serial-number-specific documentation for every asset processed.
NAID AAA certified data destruction means every engagement meets the National Association for Information Destruction's highest verification standard. Education technology directors and district IT administrators receive a Certificate of Destruction tied to each asset's serial number, creating an audit trail that supports FERPA compliance documentation and satisfies district record-keeping requirements. For on-site destruction options, our Winter Park hard drive shredding service provides witnessed physical destruction at your campus.

Academic Calendar-Aligned Campus Pickup
Education IT disposal has a rhythm defined by academic calendars: summer break, semester transitions, and end-of-fiscal-year budget cycles drive the largest technology refreshes. STS coordinates pickup scheduling around these windows, providing same-week availability for summer and intersession deployments that minimize operational disruption to academic programs. Our logistics team understands that procurement approvals, facilities access, and staff availability all converge during specific campus windows, and we build our scheduling around those realities.
For district-wide coordination across multiple schools, administrative buildings, and storage facilities, our logistics team manages consolidated pickups with unified reporting. Multi-building scheduling is handled through a single point of contact, and equipment from all locations is processed under a single chain-of-custody record, simplifying compliance documentation for district-level reporting requirements.

Education IT Disposal FAQ
Answers to the questions Winter Park school districts, universities, and campus IT departments ask most often about FERPA-compliant electronics recycling and data destruction services. From understanding how NAID AAA certified destruction supports FERPA requirements to coordinating pickups around Orange County's academic calendar, these answers address the compliance and logistics questions that matter most to education sector IT administrators.
What certifications does STS hold?
STS maintains R2v3 certification for electronics recycling, NAID AAA certification for data destruction, and processes meeting NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 sanitization standards. Our facility undergoes unannounced third-party audits annually to maintain certification status, and education clients receive documentation confirming our current certification standing with every engagement.
Is campus pickup really free for schools?
Pickup is complimentary for qualifying education volumes. Most school districts and university technology refreshes meet this threshold. Contact our team at (321) 214-4708 to confirm your volume qualifies and schedule a same-week pickup window.
How do you handle student data under FERPA?
Under FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g), student education records on retired devices must be rendered irretrievable before leaving institutional control — a requirement protecting 50 million+ U.S. students. NAID AAA certified destruction, including NIST 800-88 compliant wiping and physical shredding, satisfies this standard. Every device receives a serial-number-specific Certificate of Destruction for compliance documentation.
Can you schedule around our academic calendar?
Yes. STS work with K-12 districts typically schedules around academic calendars — summer breaks and semester intersessions are the primary pickup windows when campus IT disposal projects occur. Herzing University Winter Park Campus (~700 students) and area K-12 schools coordinate year-end device retirements during these windows. Education institutions often require pickup during non-operational hours — standard for STS engagements with campus IT departments.
What documentation do you provide for district compliance?
Every engagement includes a Certificate of Destruction per device, a full asset inventory manifest with serial numbers, weight tickets, chain-of-custody documentation, and environmental impact reporting. Education IT directors frequently cite FERPA audit documentation and R2v3 downstream tracking as non-negotiable requirements — included in every STS engagement.
How does STS work with school district purchasing processes?
We support district procurement by providing detailed quotes, SOW documentation, and vendor credentialing materials for purchasing approval. Our services align with Florida school district procurement guidelines. Contact our team to discuss your district's vendor requirements and confirm approval documentation needed for the engagement.
