PDE Action Supports Sen. Bill Cassidy’s LIFE with AI Act

October 28, 2025

“We must ensure that as Artificial Intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into schools nationwide, students’ privacy remains protected. That’s precisely what Chairman Cassidy’s LIFE Act accomplishes—and why Parents Defending Education Action fully supports it. The bill enhances student data protections and reinforces parental rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), requiring schools to clearly inform parents about their data-sharing policies and making it easy for families to opt out of having their children’s information released. It also broadens the range of data and information that parents can review and decide not make public.”

Alfonso Aguilar, Senior Director of Governmental Affairs, Parents Defending Education Action
