If your administrator or IT department is asking about SLP Toolkit compliance with the Kansas student data privacy laws, we've got you covered. You can find information about how to comply with the regulations (Article 63. - STUDENT RECORDS) below. Although we are well versed in the statutes, we are not legal experts (we stick to speech pathology and software). So you should consult your district about how to fully comply too.
1. Summary
Operators shall not use or gather, for future use, student data to engage in behaviorally targeted advertising.

Operators can share student data when authorized by contract and/or if requested by state or federal law.
