Data Sharing Agreement Requires Parental Consent
The board is approving a data sharing agreement with Phoenix Union High School District. The agreement explicitly requires ‘affirmative parental consent’ before sharing student data, a strong protection for parental rights and student privacy.
How to Preserve It
PRESERVE THE RECORD: Item G.4 approves a data sharing agreement that requires affirmative parental consent. Retrieve the referenced attachment ‘26.10.13 Data Sharing Agreement with PXU.pdf’, capture the adopted agreement text, and note the board vote. This is a model policy for protecting parental rights under FERPA.
