National Data Privacy Agreement
Student Data Privacy Consortium
The Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) is an unique collaborative of schools, districts, regional, territories and state agencies, policy makers, trade organizations and marketplace providers addressing real-world, adaptable, and implementable solutions to growing data privacy concerns. The Consortium also leverages work done by numerous partner organizations but focuses on issues being faced by “on-the-ground” practitioners.
The National Data Privacy Agreement (NDPA) has been community developed and designed to streamline application contracting and set common expectations between schools/districts and marketplace providers.
After a great amount of Community growth and feedback, schools, districts, divisions and states indicated they needed their own state-specific version of the DPA for larger adoption.
Two years later, there was enough commonality between state specific DPAs that a National DPA Project Team explored the viability of developing a draft that could be used by any school/district/division across the US. The NDPA has been developed with extensive review and comments from all stakeholders and is designed to address common student data privacy concerns and streamline the contracting processes for users with limited legal or fiscal resources for “one off” contracts with each of the over 13,000 US school districts.
To find out more and get your needs addressed, please join in the conversations by being part of the Consortium.
