Board to consider updated student-data privacy agreement for vendors

What happened

The October 13 agenda proposed adopting CA-NDPA version 1.5 for use with all future vendors and partners that receive MJUSD student data. The district says the updated agreement is intended to meet state and federal privacy requirements and address emerging risks, including educational AI.

Why it matters to families

If adopted, the updated agreement would establish the district’s standard student-data protection terms for future vendors handling student information districtwide.

The evidence

Agenda item 14.3 recommends approval of the updated Student Data Privacy Agreement, CA-NDPA v1.5, for all future vendors and partners receiving district student data; the background cites California Education Code 49073.1, SOPIPA, FERPA and COPPA, and evolving risks such as AI. The agenda records a recommendation, not an adopted outcome.
