The Laurel School District board voted to approve a data‑processing agreement (DPA) with typing.com after staff said the contract includes protections intended to keep student information private.
Chair (speaker 1) moved to approve the DPA and the motion passed on a voice vote. A board member (speaker 2) explained the district is required to use a DPA with certain online vendors and emphasized safeguards: “We’re not sharing student information with companies, things like that.” The board recorded the motion and carried it without public opposition.
