If your administrator or IT department is asking about SLP Toolkit compliance with the Massachusetts student data privacy laws, we've got you covered. You can find information about how to comply with the regulations below. Although we are well versed in the new statutes, we are not legal experts (we stick to speech pathology and software). So you should consult your district about how to fully comply too.

You can view all the student data elements that we collect, along with the reason we collect them in the knowledge base article below. You can print out a copy or save a PDF for your records.

The Massachusetts Student Privacy Alliance (MSPA) is made up of Massachusetts School Districts that set common standards and expectations for student privacy. Here is a link to the Massachusetts Student Privacy Alliance within the SDPC. MSPA

For school districts that are MSPA members within the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC), we've got you covered. You can download the agreement they have provided here (click here)

NOTE: If your district would prefer a generic agreement, you can generate and download a signed data sharing & privacy agreement (DSPA) using this form (click here).

Hopefully, this demystifies the Massachusetts student privacy laws and you can get on with helping the students :) As always, let us know if there are any questions about this or other privacy standards by sending an email to privacy@slptoolkit.com or contacting support.
