Your state could be next! Learn how they did it: ow.ly/fC6o50WZyAx
#StudentDataPrivacy #EdTech
@keithkrueger.bsky.social
Indiana schools are leading a statewide movement to protect student data! Like districts nationwide, they faced big challenges with student data privacy. They had no clear roadmap, limited budgets, and no comprehensive laws. Now, thanks to the TLE State Partnership program and the CoSN Trusted Learning Environment Seal, 45 districts have a new path forward. The results are clear: Better privacy for students More oversight of vendors Restored trust with parents Your state can be next! Read our Indiana TLE case study to learn how they did it and encourage your state leaders to join the movement.
