Speaker: Joseph Eckstein of Eastern Suffolk BOCES with Moderator Tracy Davey and Panelist Whitney Braunlin
Date: Wednesday, April 16 at 12:00pm

This session is designed to cut through the complexity and provide purchasing agents with clear, actionable guidance on how to stay compliant when student data is shared with contractors or vendors. While the method of award is an important consideration, this webinar will focus solely on what steps purchasing agents must take to comply when sharing student data.

We’ll also delve into the why behind these laws, focusing on their purpose and importance as essential safeguards for student safety. Highlights of the discussion include:

• A deep dive into the Parent’s Bill of Rights, including where to find the State’s model and what documents must be attached to contracts to meet compliance requirements.

• A brief look at cooperative contracts—how to navigate compliance when schools partner with government agencies to share student data.

• Clarifying the often-confused relationship between FERPA and HIPAA when working with medical facilities.

Whether you’re new to these topics or looking to enhance your understanding, this webinar promises to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to navigate these critical areas confidently.

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your expertise and protect what matters most—our students.
