States Must: • Ensure parents and educators understand and find value in the data that is collected • Communicate with stakeholders • Ensure proactive and constructive policies @EdDataCampaign #eddata
State Legislation in 2014 How many bills have been introduced? • 78 bills from 30 states • Many more are already being drafted • 58 bills have taken a prohibitive approach • NH HB 1586: Prevents predictive analytics • MS SB 2737: Defunds the SLDS • 32 bills have taken a governance/transparency/accountability approach • TN SB 1470: Requires a public data inventory and a comprehensive privacy policy • WV HB 4316: Describes state, district, and school privacy responsibilities and establishes data sharing governance • The approaches are not mutually exclusive
Local Data-Sharing Implications • Prohibitive measures • Security responsibilities for districts • Contracting guidelines • School Board roles
What Can Local Districts and Programs Do? • Communicate with State Boards • Data myths and value of data • State Board role • Ensure transparency in your work • Data use and management • Public benefits of data sharing • Embed comprehensive language into your data sharing contracts • Security, privacy, and use procedures • Clarifies what you’re doing
If you remember anything… • The privacy conversation will affect the work you want to do. • You have an important role! • DQC is here to help!
