FERPA configuration
- TPA Ventures operates as a school official under 34 CFR § 99.31(a)(1)(i)(B) with legitimate educational interest; the Skyward 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.
