The first thing that administrators want to know is "how safe is the information out on the cloud" and
then they tell you "you can't put anything FERPA related out there."

I attended Henry Thiele's presentation a couple years ago on dispelling those myths.  I thought I would post a couple links here for future reference:

According to him, you can put anything on the Google docs, and it is safer than having it on our local servers.

I also talked with someone from the Lincoln Public Schools with the same view, and they shared this link:  http://home.lps.org/training/2012/08/22/student-data-privacy-in-google-apps/
