Board authorizes ROC‑negotiated data privacy agreements to meet NY Ed Law 2‑d requirements
Summary
The South Seneca Board authorized the use of Data Privacy Agreements negotiated by the RIC ONE Risk Operations Center (ROC) and its attorneys to address student data protections under New York Education Law §2‑d and Part 121 regulations, while reserving the district's right to consult counsel on specific DPAs.
At the July 8 meeting the board voted to authorize the use of Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) negotiated by the RIC ONE Risk Operations Center ("ROC") and its attorneys for the 2026–2027 fiscal year. The resolution notes the ROC’s work is intended to ensure DPAs are consistent with New York State Education Law Section 2‑d and Part 121 Regulations governing student personally identifiable information (PII) and certain teacher/principal APPR data. The minutes record that the district "reserves to itself the right to make determinations regarding the use of such DPAs and the software and/or technology resources to which they relate and to consult with its own legal counsel to review any specific issues or concerns before executing any DPA." The motion carried 7‑0.
The resolution identifies ROC partnerships with NYSED, the Access4Learning Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) and The Education Cooperative (TEC) and clarifies the DPAs presented to districts do not require additional budgeted expenditures. The board’s vote authorizes the district to accept ROC‑negotiated DPAs while maintaining district discretion prior to final execution.
