Student Data Privacy

We believe that it is vital for all students in the Westport Public Schools to be able to efficiently and effectively use digital tools that empower them in all phases of the learning process, including research, problem solving, content creation, communication, and collaboration. We also believe that we must be committed at all times to protecting students' privacy and providing them with a powerful and safe educational experience. To that end, the Westport Public Schools follow the legal requirements to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff while using any technology resource or outside contractor.

We review privacy policies and terms of service regularly to ensure that each resource conforms with legal requirements and local guidelines.

• Software program/app review and approval process
• Approved technology resources
• Request for review of software program/app (for Westport staff only)

The programs may be used district-wide, in a very small number of classrooms, or with individual students. The list will be updated each time the district enters into a new contract where student data is housed.
