Program Overview
School nurses report confusion between HIPAA and FERPA in relation to school records and school health data. Many states and school districts are not submitting de-identified data to the National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts. Many districts and state-level agencies identify data sharing barriers as reasons to not participate in data submission for ESC.

Learning Outcomes
As a result of participating in this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• Describe the components of the National School Health Data Set: Every Student Counts.
• Identify what constitutes de-identified data under FERPA.
• Identify different types of state privacy laws that might affect the ability of the school nurse to share student health information.
• Identify sources of state privacy law and readily find such laws.
• Describe the role of school district privacy policies in the larger framework of student privacy regulations and how to find them.

Intended Audience
