We’ll follow one Ohio district’s journey as they tackled the task of doing better with protecting student data – creating and implementing a data privacy plan; highlighting their challenges and successes in shifting how digital resources are handled; from initial planning and implementation and see adjustments made through months after to strengthen the process and keep the implementation successful.
Participants will learn actionable strategies for building this plan, including:
• Assembling Your Data Privacy Team:
• Education on Laws and Policies:
• Inventory of Resources and Data Sharing:
• Creating a Vetting and Approval Process:
• Executing Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) with Vendors:
• Creating Transparency with Community Stakeholders:
Districts need to build a culture where data privacy is considered in district decisions because it is the right thing to do, not just because it’s the law. This Ohio district’s real-world example demonstrates the practical impact of these principles.
