Welcome to the Rhode Island Student Privacy Alliance (RISPA).

The RISPA is a collaboration of Rhode Island school districts that share common concerns around student privacy. The goal of the RISPA is to set standards of both practice and expectations around student privacy such that all parties involved have a common understanding of expectations.

To this end, the first outcome of the RISPA is the adoption and implementation of a common Student Data Privacy Agreement to be used by all member schools when implementing any online application. By adopting such a contract all vendors and schools have common expectations when entering into a relationship or implementation without having to renegotiate terms in every new instance.

This site will be used to communicate both the districts and vendors that have signed the contract. This will enable all RISPA member districts to leverage vendor relationships with other member schools to smoothly develop a new relationship.
