Effective July 1, 2021, school districts will be required by the Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA) to provide additional guarantees that student data is protected when collected by educational technology companies and that the data is used for beneficial purposes only. The goal of SOPPA is to increase transparency, protect student data and protect students.
The District currently is updating and verifying applications and tools. Please check back soon for a list of approved applications. The list will include the online services or applications that the District uses, the contracts signed by the District, and any data collected by those tools or by the District.
Parents can request to review and correct any information maintained by the District or any online/application provider by contacting the Director of Information Technology Services, Matt Kellett (mkellett@jths.org).
