Summary

Staff proposed updates to the district’s MOA with Teach My People to expand services to Andrews Elementary and add a classroom at Waccamaw High, clarified that third-party access will use a supplemental (non–E-rate) internet line, and recommended adding a data‑sharing agreement to protect student data and outline breach responses.

District staff presented minor updates to a Memorandum of Agreement with Teach My People, asking the board to consider expansion to Andrews Elementary School and an additional classroom at Waccamaw High.

The presenter said Teach My People has support to expand beyond its current scope and noted the updated executive director, and that principals at the proposed sites have endorsed the plan. Staff proposed clarifying internet responsibilities so third parties do not use the district's E‑rate funded connection but instead access a supplemental line created by IT. The MOA draft also includes a recommended data‑sharing agreement describing what student information will be exchanged, how scores are handled and breach-notification procedures.

Staff asked the board to consider the updated MOA and indicated they would bring the item back for approval at the next meeting.

Why it matters: The agreement would expand services to additional district schools and adds explicit protections and processes for any student data third parties receive.

Next steps: Staff will present the updated MOA for board approval at the next meeting; no vote took place this evening.
