Data Privacy and Security RIC One Resources

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, an Inventory Tool and Professional Development. Additional add-on resources are available upon request.

Core Service - $4,134 per district (2023-24)

Inventory Tool – This tool enables districts to compile a list of their software inventory as well as linking to third-party vendor’s software privacy policies thus helping districts to comply with provisions of the New York State’s Parents’ Bill of Rights.

This service includes an orientation to the tool for maximum efficiency.
Digital Digests & Archived Digests – Quarterly newsletter on the topic of data privacy and security with current information, effective strategies, best practices, and leadership resources.
D3—Digital Digest Debrief – Deep dive webinar on a featured topic from the Digital Digest.
