What it requires
- If you are a district school board, request that each student enrolling in a public school provide a social security number and indicate whether the student identification number assigned to the student is a social security number, and do not require the number as a condition for enrollment or graduation (Fla.

- Once the Department of Education has established its process for assigning a Florida student identification number, do not use social security numbers as student identification numbers in the district's management information systems (Fla. Stat. § 1008.386(2)).
