What it requires

  • If you are the Department of Education or a local school board, do not require a student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school or receiving home instruction, or the student's parent, to provide the student's federal social security number (Va. Code Ann. 22.1-287.03(A)).
  • If you are the Department of Education, develop a system of unique student identification numbers (Va. Code Ann. 22.1-287.03(B)).
  • If you are a local school board, assign a unique student identification number to each student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school, never one that includes or is derived from the student's federal social security number, and let the student keep it for as long as the student is enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school in the Commonwealth (Va. Code Ann. 22.1-287.03(B)).

Neither the Department of Education nor any local school board may require a student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school or receiving home instruction, or the student's parent, to provide the student's federal social security number.

No student identification number may include or be derived from the student's federal social security number, and each student keeps the number for as long as the student is enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school in the Commonwealth.
