In this episode of The K-12 Tech Experience, Jake Kasowski is joined by Jim Siegl, Senior Technologist at The Future of Privacy Forum, to discuss the current state of data privacy in K-12 schools. Data Privacy Month just wrapped up in January, but that doesn't mean we should stop discussing it.

Jim shares his thoughts as to why 2021 was a more challenging year for K-12 education than 2020, what the Future of Privacy Forum is focused on looking ahead, and Jim gives a few predictions on where privacy in schools is heading.
