DATA GOVERNANCE AND STUDENT PRIVACY
Educators across Louisiana are committed to ensuring the privacy, security, and confidentiality of student data while enabling that information to be used to improve student outcomes. To accomplish this goal, each level – the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE), local education agencies (LEAs), and schools – need a system of governance based on the applicable laws, focused on clear communications and transparency, and that addresses policies, processes, and best practices.
For more more information on establishing a system of data governance, please see Louisiana’s Data Governance and Student Privacy Guidebook; additionally, see the quick links to resources below. For more information, email LDEData@la.gov.
