Student Data Privacy
The Milford Public Schools is committed to protecting student data in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the Connecticut Student Data Privacy Act (CT PA 16-189). This Connecticut specific law addresses the provision of personally identifiable student information (PII) to individuals or entities outside Milford Public Schools. Milford Public Schools collects PII for the purposes of school and district operations, only providing received data to parties within the district authorized to access the material. We do not share student PII with external researchers. While the District observes student confidentiality under FERPA, this Connecticut public act adds a layer of requirements to ensure student privacy beyond that of the federal regulations. This sets forth minimum privacy and contractual standards for all parties involved in the creation, use, disclosure, or handling of student data.
The Milford Board of Education also has a policy for Student Records; Confidentiality
If you have any questions or concerns with regard to student data privacy or the online educational services used by the Milford Public Schools, please contact Louis Giancola, Director of Business & Instructional Digital Services, at (203) 783-3446 or lgiancola@milforded.org
The Milford Public Schools encourages vendors to sign the CT Privacy Pledge - http://www.ct.gov/ctedtech/lib/ctedtech/PA_16-189_CT_Student_Data_Privacy_Pledge.pdf. More information can be found on the State of CT Website at: http://connecticut.learnplatform.com/faqs/
The new law went into effect July 1, 2018. The Milford Public Schools works with all software vendors whose products are used by the district, that fall under the privacy legislation to obtain contract modifications when needed to insure the suppliers are compliant with the law. This page will be updated as contracts renew or new agreements are entered into.
