Board renews Parchment data‑processing agreement for student transcript service

Laurel Public School District Board · September 15, 2026

Summary

Trustees approved renewal of a data‑processing agreement with Parchment, the no‑cost transcript transmission platform the district uses to send student records confidentially to postsecondary institutions.

The board approved the renewal of the district's data‑processing agreement (DPA) with Parchment, the vendor the district uses to send student transcripts to postsecondary institutions. Staff described the DPA as a routine annual renewal and said the platform imposes no direct cost on the district.

A staff representative explained the service "is the program that we use to confidentially transmit transcripts to post‑secondary institutions" and that students typically pay to have transcripts sent; the district participates by providing the transcript confidentially through the platform. Trustees asked whether this is a renewal or a new agreement and staff confirmed it is a renewal using an updated exhibit to allow sign‑on to other districts' agreements where applicable.

The motion to approve the Parchment DPA carried with a second and no recorded opposition.
