Implementing the Oregon Student Information Protection Act (OSIPA) – What you need to know

The Oregon Student Information Protection Act (OSIPA) was passed in 2015 and takes effect July 1, 2016. OSIPA was designed to prohibit companies from “data mining” information for non-education purposes that was obtained from K-12 schoolchildren through online educational apps used in the classroom. So what does this mean for teachers, schools, and districts? This session with ODE and Department of Justice staff will review the responsibilities of companies and what educators need to know about the implementation of OSIPA across Oregon.
