Student Data Privacy
Protecting Our Students in the Digital Age
At El Monte Union High School District (EMUHSD), we believe that a 21st-century education requires powerful digital tools. However, with great innovation comes a great responsibility: safeguarding the personal information and digital footprints of our students.
Data privacy is not just a legal requirement—it is a commitment to the safety and future of every learner in our classrooms. When a student uses a software platform, they leave behind data. Our mission is to ensure that this data is never exploited, sold, or mishandled.
Our Commitment to Data Privacy
We take a proactive stance on student data privacy by ensuring that every digital tool used for instruction meets rigorous security standards. Before any software is approved for use in our district, it must undergo a comprehensive vetting process to ensure compliance with:
-
FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
-
COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)
-
SOPIPA (Student Online Personal Information Protection Act)
-
AB 1584 (California Student Data Privacy)
The "Approved" Standard
The providers listed on this page are more than just vendors; they are partners who have signed a formal Data Privacy Agreement (DPA) with EMUHSD.
What does this mean for our students and families? It means these companies have legally committed to using student data only for educational purposes and have implemented industry-standard security measures to protect that information from unauthorized access.
