The Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act has numerous provisions that would permit schools to provide date of birth information to authorized government agencies. For that matter, schools can generally provide that information to any third parties under FERPA without parent or student consent, if they choose to do so, subject to some restrictions.

Thanks Adam.
Incredibly observant and spot on assessment of the meeting. The very healthy discussion and debate around this did indeed lead full circle back to your conclusion that technology, education and (good) legislation are the 3 legged stool we need to have in order to keep kids safe in the Wild, Wild West...er on the World Wide Web.
