Student privacy can certainly be tricky in this era of rapidly-developing technology. It seems like everyone has privacy rights under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) these days, but sometimes these rights and obligations collide.  For example, what if parents request a video recording of their child, but the clip includes footage of other students as well? Are districts obligated to redact video footage?  Doesn't that get expensive? Joined once more by Peter Zawadski, an attorney at Walter Haverfield, Lisa and Miriam review FERPA basics and discuss updated guidance from the Family Policy Compliance Office. This topic is a follow-up to the issues raised  in  Episode 12 of Season 1.
