The Moravia Central School District is committed to ensuring student privacy in accordance with local, state and federal regulations and district policies. To this end and pursuant to U.S. Department of Education (DOE) regulations (Education Law §2-d), the district is providing the following Parents’ Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security: 

• A student’s personally identifiable information cannot be sold or released for any commercial or marketing purposes.
• Parents/guardians have the right to inspect and review the complete contents of their child’s education record, including any student data maintained by the Moravia Central School District.
• State and federal laws protect the confidentiality of personally identifiable information, and safeguards associated with industry standards and best practices, including but not limited to, encryption, firewalls and password protection, must be in place when data is stored or transferred.
• A complete list of all student data elements collected by the state is available for public review in an Excel file at Student Information Repository System (SIRS) Guidance/documentation/NYSEDstudentData.xlsx. Parents/ guardians may also obtain a copy of this list by writing to the Office of Information & Reporting Services, New York State Education Department, Room 863 EBA, 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12234.
• Parents/guardians have the right to have complaints about possible breaches of student data addressed. Complaints should be directed to Superintendent of Schools John Birmingham at (315) 497-2670.

On January 13, 2020, the Board of Regents adopted Part 121 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. The adoption of this new law focuses on the protection and handling of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) for students and personnel.  

What is Moravia doing in preparation for Ed Law 2-d

Moravia CSD has appointed a DPO (Data Protection Officer).  We are working directly with BOCES and vendors to get “Data Sharing and Confidentiality Agreements” for all iPad Apps, Software Packages, Web Apps, and Websites accessed/used by students and staff.  We have developed a Parents Bill of Rights (posted above).  Finally, we are reviewing and updating current and new policies in line with Data Security, Privacy Policy, and Security Standards.
