As citizens, students, educators, parents, employees, and consumers, we all have concerns about maintaining the privacy of our personal data. For school districts, data privacy is a multi-stakeholder priority, and it touches every aspect of operations—from student transportation to instruction, assessment to athletics, and counseling to community initiatives. Today and going forward, student data privacy policies and their implementation are hard-wired to governance, discipline, purchasing, and communications practices. Assessing privacy and compliance policies and practices related to your system-wide use of technology is a continual priority.

In this edWebinar, the presenters cover five critical guidelines for ensuring data privacy in any school system’s use of technology. Superintendents and district leaders will learn how to make student data privacy a district wide priority. Strategies for communicating their district’s commitment to assuring student data privacy is shared by Dr. Charles Dumais and Dr. Quinn Kellis, the superintendents on the edWebinar panel. Additionally, Linnette Attai, the Project Director for CoSN’s Privacy Initiative and Trusted Learning Environment Program, shares information about how school districts can earn CoSN’s Trusted Learning Environment Seal and why that process benefits stakeholders across a district.

This recorded edWebinar is of special value for school superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring leaders. Other educators interested in the most important edtech issues facing schools and districts will find this session very informative.
