To prohibit the state from selling any of the data it collects on individual students, and post an online notice describing the specific information it does collect on student, including each date field. Any transfers of this data to another person would be subject to formal rules promulgated by the Department of Education. Public schools would be prohibited from selling or giving personally identifiable information in a student's record to a for-profit business entity (with some narrow management-related exceptions). If information is given to someone else, the school district or state would have to disclose the details to a parent or guardian who requests this within 30 days and without charge.
