Dedham is among the founding members of the TEC Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) and holds a seat on the steering committee for this group. This group has grown to be a regional powerhouse to get vendors to create appropriate Student Data Privacy Agreements (SDPA) with districts. Dedham and participating school districts submit requests to TEC SDPC to request a vendor agreement which initiates a standard contract request. TEC SDPC retains a lawyer who reviews any non-standard requests from vendors to ensure compliance of all aspects of student data privacy laws and regulations. Dedham posts its TEC Student Data Privacy Alliance Membership badge on the district main webpage and each school’s main webpage along with links to a full description of student data privacy efforts.
