Social Security Number (SSN) Procedures

To assist in developing students who are college and career ready, each high school will be implementing a process for the collection, use, and storing of Social Security Numbers (SSNs). Please refer to the Chicago Public Schools Social Security Number Protection Policy, Section: 102.9, Board Report: 11-0525-PO3 for additional information.

School counselors will be responsible for the records management of student disclosure forms containing SSNs to ensure confidentiality. Only school counselors will have access to the SSN as they are bound by a code of ethics and cannot disclose it.
