Teachers: Does your district have a policy regarding students privacy?
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Technology/PRIVACY_INFORMATION.html

When it comes to your student's personal information, who's in charge? The
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, enforced by the Federal Trade
Commission, requires commercial website operators to get parental consent
before collecting any personal information from kids under 13. COPPA allows
teachers to act on behalf of a parent during school activities online, but
does not require them to do so. That is, the law does not require teachers
to make decisions about the collection of their students' personal
information. Check to see whether your school district has a policy about
disclosing student information.

The SSS and the ED departments talk to each other
electronically to make sure that you have registered for the draft before
you get any federal student loans or other educational assistance.
You must prove you registered to your college. High Schools may be
giving this information as well.

  SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM


  Computer Matching Between the Selective Service System and the
  Department of Education

  AGENCY: Selective Service System.

ACTION: Notice.

   In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 522a), as
amended by the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988
(Pub. L. 100-503), and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
  Guidelines on the Conduct of Matching Programs (54 FR 25818 (June 19,
  1989)), and OMB Bulletin 89-22, the following information is provided:

  1. Name of participating agencies: The Selective Service System
  (SSS) and the Department of Education (ED).

  2. Purpose of the match: The purpose of this matching program is to
  ensure that the requirements of Section 12(f) of the Military Selective
  Service System Act [50 U.S.C. App. 462 (f)] are met.

  3. Authority for conducting the matching: Computerized access to
  the Selective Service Registrant Registration Records (SSS 10) enables
  ED to confirm the registration status of applicants for assistance
  under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended
  (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.). Section 12(f) of the Military Selective
  Service Act, as amended [50 U.S.C. App. 462(f)], denies eligibility for
  any form of assistance or benefit under Title IV of the HEA to any
  person required to present himself for and submit to registration under
  Section 3 of the Military Selective Service System Act [50 U.S.C. App.
  453] who fails to do so in accordance with that section and any rules
  and regulations issued under that section. In addition, Section
  12(f)(2) of the Military Selective Service System Act specifies that
  any person required to present himself for and submit to registration
  under Section 3 of the Military Selective Service System Act must file
  a statement with the institution of higher education where the person
  intends to attend or is attending that he is in compliance with the
  Military Selective Service System Act. Furthermore, Section 12(f)(3) of
  the Military Selective Service System Act authorizes the Secretary of
  Education, in agreement with the Director of the Selective Service, to
  prescribe methods for verifying the statements of compliance filed by
  students.

  Section 484(n) of the HEA [20 U.S.C. 1091(n)], requires the
  Secretary to conduct data base matches with SSS, using common
  demographic data elements, to enforce the Selective Service
  registration provisions of the Military Selective Service Act [50
  U.S.C. App. 462(f)], and further states that appropriate confirmation
  of a person's shall fulfill the requirement to file a separate
  statement of compliance.

  4. Categories of records and individuals covered:

  1. Federal Student Aid Application File (18-11-01). Individuals
  covered are men born after December 31, 1959, but at least 18 years old
  by June 30 of the applicable award year.

  2. Selective Service Registration Records (SSS 10).

  5. Inclusive dates of the matching program: Commence on January 1,
  2005 or 40 days after copies of the matching agreement are transmitted
  simultaneously to the Committee on Government Affairs of the Senate,
  the Committee on Government Operations of the House of Representatives,
  and the Office of Management and Budget, whichever is later, and remain
  in effect for eighteen months unless earlier terminated or modified by
  agreement of the parties.

  6. Address for receipt of public comments or inquires: Richard S.
  Flahavan, Associate Director, Office of Public and Intergovernmental
  Affairs, Selective Service System.

  Dated: October 28, 2004.
  Jack Martin,
  Acting Director.
