About:
We are proud to be the founders of the New Hampshire K-12 student (and staff) data privacy alliance! Weighing several key and critical factors such as timely program rollout, ability to scale resources to support the first-year ramp up, prior experience with the systems and procedures, and member support, have led us to contract with The Education Coop (TEC) of MA for this work.
TEC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit which has been providing support to Massachusetts districts since 1968. They began working with student data privacy in 2016 and are ready, willing and able to onboard other states. Several years ago, TEC engaged the services of a legal firm licensed in NH, with experts in the field of Education Law, for contract negotiations; hired a dedicated, experienced contract administrator; and partnered with SDPC. They have the process in place to handle New Hampshire’s schools and the contacts and resources to onboard us efficiently. This turn-key process is critical to the success of this project.
As a reminder, there are 2 basic steps to participating in the NH student data privacy alliance:
1. Membership in the NHCTO Council.
2. A $1/student/year (max $5,000) payable to TEC (see attachment).
