Legal Considerations When Tracking and Sharing Student Support Information

Advancing students’ health and wellness is a team effort that requires excellent coordination among faculty, administrators, counselors, clinicians, and other stakeholders to ensure issues can be identified and addressed effectively and in a timely manner.

Recording and sharing information among a student’s team is essential to coordinating support and meeting student needs. But, record-keeping and information sharing can raise complex legal issues. If you have questions about legal considerations to keep top of mind as you make and exchange notes about the student support services you provide, this webinar is for you.

Stephen Goldman, general counsel at Intellispark, has spent decades focused on education law and has deep expertise on issues relating to student data privacy. In this webinar, Stephen will provide insight into the key regulations governing student records, including FERPA and HIPAA at the federal level and selected state statutes, and discuss best practices for recording information in digital systems, setting record retention policies, creating appropriate access controls, establishing practices for collaborating with families that can help mitigate sources of tension, and more. Stephen will also speak to obligations that arise in the event litigation is threatened or moves forward, including how digital record-keeping can aid in the discovery process.While this webinar can’t address client-specific legal issues, it will provide a helpful overview of this important topic so that you’re in the best position possible to work with your school’s legal counsel.
