What happens to the student data that we send to a third party vendor? Information like names, birthdates, etc. may be provided by District146 to a third party like IXL, NWEA MAP, etc. What protections do those companies have in place to make sure that our student's data is not sold or freely given to others? As part of SOPPA, these companies must enter into Data Privacy Agreements (DPA) with each district they work with. These agreements outline what data is stored, how it is protected, what the company can and cannot do with that data, and what they will do in the event of a data breach.

District 146 utilizes the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC), which is an unique group of schools, districts, regional and state agencies, policy makers, trade organizations and marketplace providers addressing real-world, adaptable, and implementable solutions to growing data privacy concerns. Through the Illinois SDPC, we enter into contracts with third-party vendors who handle our student's data.
