Student Data Privacy and List of Instructional Technology

Regional School District 10 is committed to protecting the privacy of its students, faculty and staff. The district complies with State and Federal legislative regulations such as the Connecticut Act Concerning Student Data Privacy (PA 16-189) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). PA 189 requires Boards of Education to enter into written contracts with consultants and operators (collectively, "contractors") prior to providing contractors with, or allowing them access to student information, student records or student generated content. This law further requires boards to provide written notice of execution of such a contract and post such notice on the board’s website, along with the executed contract. All software in use by the district must be vetted and approved before use. 

Approved software vendors have either signed the CT Student Data privacy pledge at the Educational Software Hub or entered into an agreement with Regional School District 10.  

Compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is achieved through Fortinet and Linewize web filtering platforms.
