The Douglas County School District cares deeply about the privacy of our students. We are committed to ensuring that their data is protected in every instance, and that we are in compliance with the Colorado Student Data Transparency and Security Act (HB 16-1423) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
DCSD has always protected student data. The new Colorado Student Data Transparency and Security Act is helping to reinforce this protection by focusing on:
- Reinforcing protocol for using software and working with vendors
- Transparency for our community on what student data the CDE and DCSD collects and how its collected
- Bringing greater awareness of elements to look for on click-through contracts for free online apps
