Career Academy of Utah - Approved Applications & Platforms

Career Academy of Utah maintains this metadata dictionary as a tool to inform parents, community members and school stakeholders of the school websites and applications that may be used in educating our students. A list of the data elements and definitions shared with and/or collected by third-party vendors can be found here: Data Elements and Definitions

 

Utah law (53E-9-303) requires districts and charter schools to create a “metadata dictionary.” According to 53E-9-301, the metadata dictionary is basically a record of what student personally identifiable information (PII) is being shared outside your LEA, and with whom it is being shared.
