Elected officials and business entities permitted to access student or parent data.

The bill allows elected officials and certain business entities to access data related to students and their parents. This could include personal information that schools collect. The goal is to improve services and resources for students by making this data available to those in positions of authority or business interests.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will enhance the ability of elected officials and businesses to create targeted programs and services that benefit students and families. They believe that access to this data can lead to better educational outcomes and more effective community support initiatives.

Critics of the bill express concerns about privacy and the potential misuse of sensitive student and parent information. They worry that allowing access to this data could lead to exploitation or unwanted marketing efforts, undermining the trust between families and educational institutions.
