This page contains a list of digital resources that have been vetted for use and student data privacy protections.   Many websites, including free online educational tools, gather personal data and/or are not intended for use by children under 13 without written parental consent.  Our school District partners with The Education Collaborative to help manage issues related to student data privacy. This partnership helps us, and other school systems in Massachusetts obtain Student Data Privacy Agreements with educational platforms. These agreements are legally enforceable agreements between vendors and the school districts that give schools and districts ownership & control of student data as well as define how a vendor may and may not use a child’s personal data.   Some platforms and vendors refuse to sign the agreement. Student safety is a priority of our District, and until the requested vendor allows NSBoro Schools the ownership of the personal information collected, children may continue to be blocked from accessing the website.
