A 2469 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits cloud computing service providers from disclosing data collected from public, private, or charter schools.

This bill prohibits cloud computing service providers (like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 used by schools) from disclosing student data collected through their services to anyone outside the school - such as third parties or advertisers. It directly affects all public, private, and charter schools in New Jersey, as well as the cloud providers serving them. Key provisions require providers to certify compliance in writing, limit data processing solely to school operations, and impose civil penalties ($5,000 for first offenses, $10,000 for repeat) for violations. The law applies to all student educational records, including emails, attendance, grades, health data, and individualized education plans.
