Board authorizes regional center to negotiate student‑data privacy agreements under NY Ed Law 2‑d
Summary
The Chazy Central Rural School District board approved a resolution authorizing the ROC ONE Risk Operations Center and its attorneys to negotiate Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) that comply with New York State Education Law Section 2‑d and Part 121 Regulations; the board noted no additional budgetary expenditure for these agreements.
The Board of Education approved a resolution authorizing the ROC ONE Risk Operations Center and its designated attorneys to negotiate and approve Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) that include the requirements of New York State Education Law Section 2‑d and Part 121 Regulations. Lee Barcomb moved the resolution, Mary LaPierre seconded it, and the motion carried unanimously.
The resolution, discussed as part of the agenda’s vendor-management and data-privacy items, says four BOCES (Onondaga‑Cortland‑Madison; Albany‑Schoharie‑Schenectady‑Saratoga; Madison‑Oneida; Broome‑Tioga) collaborated on an Article 5 intermunicipal arrangement to form the ROC and that DPAs presented for final execution will not require funds beyond those already budgeted for the 2025‑26 fiscal year. The board record notes the ROC partners with NYSED, the Access4Learning Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC), and The Education Cooperative (TEC) in negotiating Ed Law 2‑d compliant DPAs.
Why it matters: New York State Education Law Section 2‑d and Part 121 set requirements for handling student personally identifiable information (PII). By delegating negotiation to ROC‑designated attorneys the board is seeking centralized review of vendor DPAs rather than negotiating each contract locally, while stating that execution of those DPAs will not increase district expenditures for 2025‑26.
Provenance: discussion and motion recorded in the minutes under the resolution text (SEG 012–SEG 015).
