Full text of Colorado Colorado Revised Statutes § 22-16-102 — Legislative declaration., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 22-16-102. Legislative declaration.
The general assembly recognizes that, with the increasing use of technology in education, it is imperative that information that identifies individual students and their families is vigilantly protected from misappropriation and misuse that could harm students or their families. The general assembly also finds, however, that there are many positive ways in which a student's personally identifiable information may be used to improve the quality of the education the student receives and to positively impact the educational and career outcomes that the student achieves. The general assembly finds, therefore, that student data can be both protected and positively applied by increasing the level of transparency regarding, and specifying and enforcing limitations on, the collection, use, storage, and destruction of student data.
