Student Data Privacy
Technology Resources Information
Our students live in a digitally enhanced world, both in their social and learning spaces. Today’s kids have 24/7 access to people, information, and ideas with digital technologies. As parents, in partnership with educators, it’s our responsibility to help students stay safe and become constructive digital citizens while utilizing online resources. Empowering our learners in understanding the best ways to engage with others online in a safe and ethical way is critical.
In Shawano School District (SSD), we value the rich learning, innovative creation, and communication experiences that technology brings to our students, classrooms and families' lives. To support student learning, each student is assigned a district issues device. In accordance with district policy and federal law, student devices are monitored to ensure the well being and safety of all users.
Student Data, What Educators Need to Know.
Student Data Privacy - Educator Overview
Recent advances in technology tools and apps have allowed teachers and students to engage in activities that a few years ago would have only been imagined in science fiction. Technology allows for collaboration, creation, and sharing of ideas in real time, across the classroom or across the globe.
New technology resources continue to be developed to support teaching and learning. As we continue to engage with and use these in schools, student data is collected. This data can be used by educators to guide their instructional practices and build relationships with their students. Knowing that data, including some personal information may be shared collected by the technology service provider, it is essential for educators to understand how to protect their students’ information.
The following information is provided as a resource to help educators utilize technology for instructional purposes while still protecting their students' privacy.
Why Should You Care About Student Data Privacy?
Every school district is required to comply with student data privacy and online safety regulations from the Federal government and the state where the district is located. Beyond the legal expectations, ensuring student data privacy and Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is safeguarded, is essential to protecting the whole child.
Teachers should be aware of the Federal and state laws governing student data including Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and applicable state laws, along with their district or school policies regarding the use of educational products and services from ed tech vendors. (More on these and other laws below)
Teachers should also model good digital citizenship practices and behaviors with their students. This includes being mindful when selecting the digital products and processes that will be used in their learning environment, especially when students access the digital tools.
Student Data Privacy and Why It Matters to Students
Children are among the most vulnerable to a hacker’s schemes as often the effects of stolen information aren’t realized until years later. It is critical to protect student data as it correlates with protecting their wellbeing now and in the future.
STUDENT DATA PRIVACY AND CHILD SAFETY
Educators are responsible for ensuring student stay safe online while access the internet at school. Part of those efforts are educating students in digital citizenship and modeling that behavior. Staff are able to support those efforts through their selection and use of online resources. A focus of those efforts is to protect student information.
Bad things can happen when hackers obtain private student data. Hackers can use this information to obtain financial gain, such as opening financial accounts in the student's name or demanding large payments to not release the information to others.
STUDENT DATA PRIVACY AND FINANCIAL SECURITY
Access to student data is one of the reasons why school districts are so attractive to hackers. While identify theft can happen to anyone at any age, children are an even more appealing target as most won't realize they are a victim of any crime until years later when they apply for credit. With the right information, a hacker can take advantage of students’ untarnished credit reports to start a booming identity theft operation.
STUDENT DATA PRIVACY AND ETHICS
Is it ethical for anyone to collect a student’s PII in the K-12 environment? Certainly, school districts need some PII information to administer their schools. However, companies who specialize in data collection can now begin to build profiles on children at a young age.
What Constitutes Student Data?
Information that is tied to individual students is referred to as personally identifiable information, or PII, and is subject to additional restrictions in laws and regulations.
Student personal information includes any information about a student’s identity, academics, medical conditions, or anything else that is collected, stored, and communicated by schools or technology vendors on behalf of schools that is particular to that individual student. This includes name, address, names of parents or guardians, date of birth, grades, attendance, disciplinary records, eligibility for lunch programs, special needs, and other information necessary for basic administration and instruction. It also includes the data created or generated by the student or teacher in the use of technology – email accounts, online bulletin boards, work performed with an educational program or app, anything that is by or about the individual student in the educational setting. Some student personal information such as social security number, is highly sensitive and collection may be barred by state law.

What is an Education Record?
The federal law, FERPA protects educational records that contain information directly related to an individual student and which are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution. However, new state student privacy laws protect all “student personal information” and data that is now collected and used via modern educational technology products and services.
Definition -The Educator's Guide to Student Data and Privacy. ConnectSafely https://www.connectsafely.org/eduprivacy/
What are the Federal and State Laws That We Need to Follow?
FERPA – Information in a student’s education record is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law enacted in 1974 that guarantees that parents have access to their child’s education record and restricts who can access and use student information.
COPPA – The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) controls what information is collected from young children by companies operating websites, games, and mobile applications directed toward children under 13.
PPRA – The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) outlines restrictions for the process when students might be asked for information as part of federally funded surveys or evaluations.

FERPA
Information in a student’s education record is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law enacted in 1974 that guarantees that parents have access to their child’s education record and restricts who can access and use student information.
FERPA protects the access to and sharing of a student’s education record, which is all information directly related to a particular student as part of his or her education. FERPA gives parents specific rights to their child’s education records and when a child turns 18, the rights belong directly to him or her. FERPA also permits schools to share information with another school system regarding a student’s enrollment or transfer, specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes; appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student; organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school; and accrediting organizations. The “school official” exception allows schools to share information with parent volunteers, technology companies or other vendors, but only when used for educational purposes directed by the school. Directory Information, another FERPA exception, is student data that a school may make public, for example a sports team roster, yearbook information or even data that can be provided to third parties, but parents must be given the opportunity to opt-out.
https://www.connectsafely.org/eduprivacy/
COPPA
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) controls what information is collected from young children by companies operating websites, games, and mobile applications directed toward children under 13.
COPPA requires companies to have a clear privacy policy, provide direct notice to parents, and obtain parental consent before collecting information from children under 13. Teachers and other school officials are authorized to provide this consent on behalf of parents for use of an educational program, but only for use in the educational context. This means the company can only collect personal information from students for the specified educational purpose, and for no other commercial purpose. Some schools have policies that require school administrator approval before teachers can allow use of certain apps or services. When information is collected with the consent of a school official, the company may keep the information only as long as necessary to achieve the educational purposes.
https://www.connectsafely.org/eduprivacy/
PPRA
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) outlines restrictions for the process when students might be asked for information as part of federally funded surveys or evaluations.
For example, surveys might be used to better understand the effects on students of drug and alcohol use, or sexual conduct. They might also seek to understand the impact on students with family backgrounds that include violence, or variations in home life such as family makeup or income levels. In order to administer such surveys, schools must be able to show parents any of the survey materials used, and provide parents with choices for any surveys that deal with certain sensitive categories.

Resource Selection Guidelines
Resource Selection Guidelines
Review the Resource
Review Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to ensure it meets FERPA and COPPA terms.
Discuss with your PLC, Grade Level Team, or Department how you plan to use it with students and make sure a similar resource/app isn’t already being used.
Discuss with your building admin to share your intended use of the resource and determine funding source if necessary.
Some Questions to Help you Quickly Evaluate Whether an App, Website, Product, or Service Will Protect Your Student's Information
- Did you have to make an account in order to start using that app? If so, did you have to provide personal information (email, name, age, etc.)?
- Are you able to use make an account with an anonymous username? (Book Character, Historical Figure, Made up name, etc.)?
- Does the app require parental permission?
- Who has access to your email and other information now that you’ve created that account?
- Is the app age appropriate? (It's in their privacy policy or terms of service)
- Does the app developer share your information with others? (It’s in their privacy policy.)
- Does the app collect additional information such as location or contacts?
- Does the product show advertisements to student users? Ads are allowed, but many states ban ads targeted based on data about students or behavioral ads that are based on tracking a student across the web.
FERPA, the federal privacy law applies to “education records” only, but many state laws cover ALL student personal information.
- Does the product collect Personally Identifiable Information?
- Does the vendor commit not to further share student information other than as needed to provide the educational product or service? (Such as third party cloud storage, or a subcontractor the vendor works with under contract.) The vendor should clearly promise never to sell data.
- Does the vendor create a profile of students, other than for the educational purposes specified? Vendors are not allowed to create a student profile for any reason outside of the authorized educational purpose.
- When you cancel the account or delete the app, will the vendor delete all the student data that has been provided or created?
- Does the product show advertisements to student users? Ads are allowed, but many states ban ads targeted based on data about students or behavioral ads that are based on tracking a student across the web.
TIP: Look for a triangle i symbol which is an industry label indicating that a site allows behaviorally targeted advertising. These are never acceptable for school use. This would be particularly important when evaluating non-education-specific sites or services.
- Does the vendor allow parents to access data it holds about students or enable schools to access data so the school can provide the data to parents in compliance with FERPA?
- Does the vendor promise that it provides appropriate security for the data it collects?
TIP: A particularly secure product will specify that it uses encryption when it stores or transmits student information. Encrypting the data adds a critical layer of protection for student information and indicates a higher level of security.
- Does the vendor claim that it can change its privacy policy without notice at any time? This is a red flag—current FTC rules require that companies provide notice to users when their privacy policies change in a significant or “material” way, and get new consent for collection and use of their data.
- Does the vendor say that if the company is sold, all bets are off? The policy should state that any sale or merger will require the new company to adhere to the same protections.
- Do reviews or articles about the product or vendor raise any red flags that cause you concern?

Responsibilities
To be clear, your responsibility to protect student data privacy includes:
- How you collect, use, and manage students’ PII
- How you govern the use of students’ PII
- Protecting all information that could be used to identify, find, or connect with a student, including name, address, student ID, demographics, birth date, and login credentials
- Protecting academic, health, and disciplinary records
- Protecting information that could be merged to identify a specific student
How is the Shawano School District Media Opt-Out Form Used?
The SSD likes to celebrate the achievements of our students and staff. Throughout the year, photos and videos may be taken of students, student work, and school activities. These photos and videos may appear in various District materials, including school and district websites, social media websites, newsletters, brochures, advertising, etc. Student names are usually not used in association with photos and videos, but when they are, only first names will be used except in situations where full names are standard. Most parents/guardians support and encourage this celebration of achievements, so by default all parents/guardians who register their students are giving permission for this use.

STUDENT SAFETY
CIPA
In accordance with requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Neighborhood Children’s Internet Protection Act (NCIPA), all equipment connecting to the network from any connection located within the District’s buildings will be blocked or filtered. The degree of filtering may be different at various grade levels due to the age of students and educational value of the content. The District will make best efforts to prevent users from accessing or transmitting visual depictions of material deemed obscene, child pornography, and any material deemed harmful to minors as those terms are defined in CIPA. It will also make best efforts to prevent users fromaccessing or transmitting offensive, disruptive, or harmful data or any inappropriate matter.
The District recognizes that no technology measure can block 100% of the undesirable content and emphasizes theimportance of supervision in monitoring student use. It is the responsibility of the staff to make best efforts toguide and to monitor students in the effective and appropriate use of the District’s computer system. This includes, but is not limited to:
● Teaching students how to find educationally appropriate electronic materials.
● Teaching students how to judge the educational suitability of electronic materials.
● Teaching students information literacy skills, including understanding of safety, copyright, and data privacy.
● Teaching students ethically, responsible, and appropriate behavior when accessing and communicating via the web.

Web Safety
In this technological age, we all know the importance of making common sense decisions when using the Internet.Release of personal information including pictures, personal passwords, addresses, phone numbers, personal email address, etc. to any online source, email, or other direct electronic communication should not be shared on the Internet. No student should agree to meet with someone he/she has “met” online without parent or guardian approval.
CONSEQUENCES OF INNAPROPRIATE USE
The network user shall be responsible for damages to the equipment, systems, and software resulting from deliberate or willful acts. Illegal use of the network, intentional deletion or damage to files or data belonging to others,vandalism to equipment or data, copyright violations or theft of services will be reported to the appropriate legal authorities for possible prosecution.
General rules for behavior and communications apply when using the Internet, in addition to the stipulations of thispolicy. Depending on the nature and degree of the violation and the number of previous violations, unacceptable use of technology may result in one of the following consequences: Suspension or loss of access, payments for damages and repairs, suspension, expulsion, exclusion or termination of employment, or civil or criminal liability under law.
Resources for Families
Our students live in a digitally enhanced world, both in their social and learning spaces. Today’s kids have 24/7 access to people, information, and ideas with digital technologies. As parents, in partnership with educators, it’s our responsibility to help students stay safe and become constructive digital citizens while utilizing online resources. Empowering our learners in understanding the best ways to engage with others online in a safe and ethical way is critical.
In Shawano School District, we value the rich learning, innovative creation, and communication experiences that technology brings to our students, classrooms and families' lives. To support student learning, each student is assigned a district issues device. In accordance with district policy and federal law, student devices are monitored to ensure the well being and safety of all users.
Together, the district and families can assist students in learning appropriate ways to interact within a digital environment for learning and entertainment purposes. We believe that with parents and guardians as our partners, we can help our students gain skills, understanding, and dispositions that will enable them to be responsible and safe in digital environments.
It is important that students have set guidelines and expectations when using devices. Set guidelines and expectations pay include screen time allowances and understanding of student data privacy. Going beyond expectations and guidelines for children, parents too may set technology rules for themselves to model healthy use of technology.
Screen Time Considerations
Screen time is a great time for bonding with your child. Take interest in their online activities. Play online games or watch TV shows and movies together. Co-interacting with screens is a great way to stay connected to your child. When your child is using a device independently, consider the following screen time considerations:
-
Device location - Monitor the use of devices by creating a central location in your home for device usage.
-
App usage - Be aware of the apps on your child’s device and who your child is interacting with through these apps. Not all apps are safe. Be aware of potentially dangerous apps.
-
Device bedtimes - Turn off devices at least 30 minutes prior to bedtime. Create a common charging station where all devices can be charged during sleep hours.
-
Time limits - Set time limits for your children to interact with devices while at home. Utilize resources from the American Academy of Pediatrics to create a family media plan and calculate media time for individual family members.
Technology Suggestions for Guardians
As expectations are placed on student’s use of technology, it too is important for parents to model healthy use of technology in everyday environments.
-
Be present and moderate use - Enjoy the moments you spend with your family in a screen free environment. Monitor and set boundaries of your technology use to fully engage in human interaction. It is okay to take a break from all the texts, notifications, games, and shows.
-
Set expectations and model good digital behavior - Establish, enforce, and model the technology-related guidelines and expectations that you set for your children. Children learn from the behavior of adults. Model positive digital behavior by refraining from using your phone while driving, setting your phone aside while eating at the dinner table, or only placing positive posts on social media. Children will appreciate seeing you model positive use of technology.
-
Do not over share - Parents should never over share information about themselves or their children online. Have a conversation with your children about what you would like to post about them online. It is best to ensure there will not be any regrets years from now.
Additional Resources
Curated resources from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Common Sense Media include instructional resources for students and families as well as digital citizenship content to help keep students stay safe online. The District encourages all stakeholders to model positive online behavior.
