Board authorizes RIC ROC participation to streamline Ed Law 2-d DPAs
Summary
The board authorized district participation in the RIC ONE Risk Operations Center (ROC) and authorized use of DPAs negotiated by the ROC to meet New York Education Law Section 2-d and Part 121 requirements for student data privacy.
Byron-Bergen’s board approved a resolution authorizing the district’s continued participation with the RIC ONE Risk Operations Center (the “ROC”) and endorsing the use of Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) negotiated by the ROC for the 2026–27 fiscal year. The resolution specifically cited compliance with New York State Education Law Section 2-d and Part 121 regulations governing student personally identifiable information (PII) and certain APPR data.
The resolution notes the ROC collaborates with NYSED and other groups (Access4Learning Student Data Privacy Consortium and The Education Cooperative) to negotiate Ed Law 2-d–compliant DPAs; it also reserves the district’s right to review DPAs and consult with its own legal counsel before executing any agreement. The motion passed 5 Yes, 0 No.
District officials characterized this as an administrative measure to streamline vendor DPA negotiations and improve vendor management and privacy practices across participating BOCES and districts.
