Protection of Student Personal Information
The Board of Directors recognizes that high-quality education data collected by its contracted school service providers is an important component for improving student achievement. The Board also recognizes that the District plays a role in ensuring that school service providers use the personal information of students in a responsible and ethical manner consistent with the privacy protections required under federal and state law.
To this end, the District will ensure that all negotiated contracts and online “Terms of Use” agreements with school service providers align with the Student User Privacy in Education Rights (SUPER) Act codified at Chapter 28A.604, RCW and the procedure that accompanies this policy.
