DPSS District Spotlight: Manhasset UFSD
Districts are always working toward Ed Law 2-d compliance and can look to other districts for best practices and recommendations. Manhasset UFSD has developed a sophisticated procedure ensuring products used within the district meet Ed Law 2-d compliance regulations. Manhasset’s Director of Technology, Dr. Sean Adcroft, works with two teachers who “wear multiple hats”, Rob Mashburn and Stacey Weinberg. They review teacher requests for software products and determine if requested products are
Ed Law 2-d compliant. Teachers enter product requests in Manhasset’s work order/ ticket system (Spiceworks). Mr. Mashburn handles requests from the secondary school and elementary school requests go to Ms. Weinberg. If products do not appear to meet Ed Law 2-d compliance in the DPSS Inventory Tool based on their public facing policy, the vendor is contacted directly to confirm the product will meet Ed Law 2d compliance. Manhasset recognizes that the DPSS Inventory Tool is “informative, not confirmatory”.
The data privacy agreement drawn up by the district attorney is sent to vendors once Ed Law 2-d compliance is confirmed. Dr. Adcroft explains once the agreement is received by the vendor there can be a delay until both vendors and the district attorneys agree on suggested language changes. The process Manhasset employed to meet Ed Law 2-d compliance is illustrated in the workflow diagram shown below. Teachers are provided status updates on their requests via the work order system.
Manhasset has generously agreed to share sample process templates found in the links provided here: • Manhasset Data Privacy Agreement • Request for Vendor to Submit to LHRIC • Request for Vendor to Update DPSS Inventory • Sample Letter to 3rd party vendor for 2-d compliance • Sample Letter to 3rd party vendor to sign district agreement
Note: It is recommended District Privacy Policy Agreements be drafted by an attorney representing the district.
