Why does a school need your SS #?

[–] Wtfrud@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They don’t. I’m sure there was an argument for why they needed it in the past but that’s not the case anymore. There has been some momentum in school districts where I’m at to purge SSN from their systems but it’s an opt in type of thing.
