What is SOPPA?

The Student Online Personal Protection Act, or SOPPA, is the student data privacy law that regulates students' covered information by schools, the Illinois State Board of Education, and education technology vendors.

SOPPA requires Illinois school districts to provide additional guarantees that student covered information is protected when collected by EdTech vendors. The law is effective on July 1, 2021.
