If your administrator or IT department is asking about SLP Toolkit compliance with the Rhode Island student data privacy laws, we've got you covered. You can find information about how to comply with the regulations (here) below. Rules from Rhode Island are a bit hard to distill down to actionable things, but the sections below should give you a good start. You should consult your district about how to fully comply too.

You can see 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 RISPA is a collaboration of Rhode Island school districts that share common concerns around student privacy. The goal of the RISPA is to set standards of both practice and expectations around student privacy such that all parties involved have a common understanding of expectations. Here is a link to the RI Student Privacy Alliance at the SDPC. RISPA

For school districts that are Rhode Island Alliance members, 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 Rhode Island 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.
