SB 0415: EDUCATION-TECH

Summary

Amends the School Code. Prohibits, except for legitimate instructional purposes, as determined by a school district, a school district from purchasing or otherwise acquiring biometric systems to use on students. Provides that this prohibition does not apply to a school district that purchases or acquires a biometric system but disables the biometric capabilities of that system so it cannot be used on students or has no reasonable knowledge that the software the school district purchased or otherwise acquired has biometric capabilities. Requires, by the 2027-2028 school year, a school district to ensure that the biometric systems it uses are used only for legitimate instructional purposes. Makes other and conforming changes.
