"The top priority for North Carolina schools is safeguarding our students. From a Digital Teaching and Learning perspective, this includes ensuring the safety of our student's data. Through the North Carolina Digital Learning Initiative funds and our collaboration with CoSN’s Trusted Learning Environment State Subscription, the Department of Public Instruction has been able to offer valuable resources and training to ensure student data protection is prioritized when using any technology. With the increasing threat of bad actors attempting to access and misuse student information, it’s crucial that our schools have every possible advantage and tool at their disposal to protect sensitive data.”

—Dr. Ashley McBride, Digital Learning Initiative Section Chief, North Carolina Department of Public Instruction

"In South Carolina, we prioritize building and maintaining high standards of privacy and security across all of our school districts. By partnering with CoSN through the Trusted Learning Environment State Subscription Plan, we are ensuring that every district in South Carolina has the opportunity to access tools and guidance necessary to help build robust student data privacy programs. This subscription reinforces our commitment to keep our students safe as they access digital platforms."

“Protecting student data privacy has never been more important or more complex. From securing internal systems to assessing vendor technologies and providing adequate training for employees, the work takes expertise, persistence, and an organizational culture that prioritizes privacy,” said Keith Krueger, CEO of the Consortium for School Networking. “The Carolinas are leading the charge to support their school districts in maintaining and improving privacy practices. Through participation in CoSN’s TLE State Partnership Program, they are ensuring that their school districts are equipped with the tools, training, and resources to more effectively safeguard student information.”

—Keith R. Krueger, MPA, CAE, CEO of CoSN
