Doers Doing…

The SDPC Management Board is proud to release for Community comment and review, the draft of the National Research Data Privacy Agreement (NRDPA). 

 

The draft leverages the format of the successful National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) to streamline research privacy agreements by standardizing a tool that could work across the country. This was all accomplished by having school, state, vendor, and research representatives all collaborating for over a year via the SDPC NRDPA Project Team.

 

The comment period will be open from Thursday, August 5, 2021 until COB Friday, August 20, 2021, with comments collected and supplied to SDPC Management Board for a vote for public release.

 

To review the draft, SDPC Members should go to the SDP home page for further information: https://www.A4L.org/group/SDPC

The SDPC model Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) have had a huge impact on the K12 EdTech ecosystem by establishing common expectations and streamlining the DPA execution process for both districts and providers.

Since 2016, over 222,000 standard DPAs have been executed and subscribed to.

By applying an average legal fee of $250 per hour, and minimal negotiation time of 1hr for each district and vendor per DPA, these standard DPAs have saved participating districts and vendors over $111 million.
