Description
Public elementary and secondary schools; student identification numbers. Prohibits the Department of Education and each local school board from requiring any student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school or his parent to provide the student's federal social security number. The bill requires the Department to instead develop a system of unique student identification numbers and requires each local school board to assign such a number to each student enrolled in a public elementary or secondary school. Under current law, every student is required to present a federal social security number within 90 days of his enrollment; if a student is ineligible to obtain a social security number or his parent is unwilling to present a social security number, the superintendent may assign another identifying number or waive the requirement.

Comments
Yes, please. It's not like schools want to be liable for exposing students social security numbers, but this is surely pretty low on the priority list. A statewide prohibition might lead the state school board to get creative and come up with their own numbering unique identifier for students.
