Student data privacy is a big responsibility - and it shouldn't be a solo effort.
Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) gives districts and vendors a shared way to manage data privacy agreements, reduce back-and-forth, and move forward with confidence.

Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) gives districts and vendors a shared way to manage data privacy agreements, reduce back-and-forth, and move forward with confidence.
What is the SDPC?
For many districts and vendors, student data privacy can feel overwhelming: laws evolving, changing expectations, legal uncertainty, operational risk, and pressure to get it right – because the consequences of getting it wrong are real.
This Consortium brings districts and vendors together to handle student data privacy – giving you a consistent way to manage data privacy agreements and keep up with changing requirements, so you can spend less time sorting through it all and more time moving forward.

How SDPC makes student data privacy easier to manage
Clear Standards
Work from consistent expectations across the ecosystem.
Align with how districts and vendors are already handling privacy.
Shared Agreements
Start with a common contract instead of building your own.
Use the National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) to streamline expectations between districts and vendors.
Practical Tools
See what’s already been done and reuse it.
Search the SDPC Resource Registry to find existing agreements and avoid starting from scratch.
