Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA)
As part of SOPPA, companies must enter into Data Privacy Agreements (DPA's) with each district they work with. These agreements outline what data is stored, how it is protected, what the company can and cannot do with that data, and what they will do in the event of a data breach. District 36 utilizes the Student Data Privacy Consortium to assist with evaluating the use of specific online applications; establishing a list of applications or services approved for use; developing a process for the approval of online sites, applications or services not already approved for use; and, creating, maintain and regularly updating an internal inventory with related pertinent information. If you would like to view the DPA's that we current hold, please click the following link.
