The Data Privacy and Security Core Service is designed to provide assistance to districts to locate, identify, and control their data. It supports districts’ compliance with New York State’s Common Core Reform Act, Education Law 2-D, and the Parents Bill of Rights. As part of the core service, participating districts will have access to leadership resources and an inventory tool. Additional add-on resources are available upon request.
