Student Data Two types of student data are collected on this Site: (1) data entered by you in the setup process, and (2) data, including voice recordings and student responses, collected from students as they use Ticket to Read (together, 'Student Data').
Federal law (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 'FERPA') requires limitations on disclosure of Educational Records (as defined in FERPA) and implementation of appropriate security measures to protect Educational Records. To help your school district comply with FERPA, Voyager Sopris has adopted certain practices, and requires that educators using this Site fulfil certain responsibilities to safeguard Student Data.

Additional agreements may be required by the third party to authorize transmission of data to Voyager Sopris.
