FERPA configuration
- TPA Ventures operates as a school official under 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(1)(i)(B) with legitimate educational interest; the Illuminate connection is scoped to the students and fields your district authorizes in writing.
- Connector credentials are stored encrypted (AES-256) in a dedicated secrets vault, rotated on your schedule, and never visible to TPA Ventures support staff.
- Every read and write is recorded in an immutable audit log with user, timestamp, student identifier and field changed, exportable for state monitoring or records requests.
Illuminate Education questions
Can TPA Ventures use Illuminate assessment data for baselines?
Yes. Assessment exports are the most common use. Every extracted score links back to its source row so the team can verify it.
Is this an official Illuminate integration?
No. It uses exports your district already controls.
What if a score is missing?
TPA Ventures flags the gap for the case manager. It never estimates or fills in a missing score.
