Privacy in Partnership: Save Time and Secure Data with the Indiana Student Privacy Alliance

Thursday May 7, 2026 9:50am - 10:40am EDT

Tired of the costly and repetitive cycle of negotiating EdTech privacy agreements? As digital tools multiply, protecting student data becomes more complex. Learn how Indiana schools are now working together to solve this problem.

This session introduces Indiana's Student Data Privacy Alliance (SDPA), a statewide collaborative designed to streamline student data privacy. You will see how the Educational Service Centers of Indiana (ESCI) have procured access to this powerful resource for all Indiana school districts. Using the national Access 4 Learning (A4L) framework, the Indiana SDPA provides a central registry of pre-negotiated vendor agreements that saves significant time and ensures consistent, high-quality data protection.

In this 1-hour workshop, you will learn how to:
Use the A4L/SDPC registry to end repetitive negotiations.
Calculate the time and money the alliance can save your district.
Navigate the platform to find vendors and access agreements.
Begin the simple onboarding process for your district.
