Ed Law 2-D & Data Privacy and Security
New York State Education Law 2-d Part 121 of the Commissioner's Regulations requires that each education agency shall publish their Data Security and Privacy Policy and their Parent's Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security.
The law also requires that with each contract an educational agency enters with a third-party contractor, that received personally identifiable information (PII), must contain a signed bill of rights and supplemental information. In turn, each educational agency will have to publish, on its website, the signed parent's bill of rights and supplemental information to the bill of rights for each software contract.
