Fix Coming for Student Data Privacy Bill, Sponsor Says
As a new law took effect setting parameters for protection of student privacy in use of education
technology, the sponsor of the legislation emphasized the need for it but acknowledged revisions could be
coming based on complaints.
Recent media reports have featured complaints about problems with the requirements of SB29 (S.
Huffman), including how it hampers the use of technology and the fact that it requires frequently
disclosures to parents of how technology is used in certain cases.
Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill into law in July. It establishes that educational records created by a
technology provider contracting with a school district belong to the school and generally prohibits
commercial use of those records, among other features.
The law went into effect last week. Sen. Stephen Huffman (R-Tipp City), who sponsored it, issued a
statement marking the occasion.
"This law is needed now more than ever as our students face more threats from a global online presence.
Technology is part of our lives, and in many ways, more prevalent in our children's lives.I have grown
increasingly convinced that we must ensure student actions online are appropriately protected.Tech
companies should not be able to use their access to school devices to capture our kids' data, target them,
or sell their data to third parties. SB29 makes several changes that boost student privacy laws in Ohio.
There is more work to do, as the threats are always evolving.One item in this law that does need to be
revised is the process of providing family notice when schools or tech companies interact with a student's
school-issued device.I am aware of the issue and working with educators and my fellow members of the
legislatureto address this matter over the next few weeks while continuing to ensure that our children's
privacy is respected," Huffman said.

Subject: Additional SB 29 Materials

Good morning,
I wanted to share some additional materials associated with SB 29 compliance.  Below is a link to a recording of the BASA/MCOECN webinar on SB 29 from October 17th.  There is some great information and discussion included in this recording.  Please note that there is a password needed to access the video.
Attached is a generic contract addendum designed to serve as a privacy agreement that can be attached to any technology provider agreement.  This is provided in fillable PDF format.  This blanket agreement was developed by Scott Scriven LLP and should serve as a handy tool for SB 29 compliance.
Also attached is an update to the Securly SB 29 guidance that was initially distributed 10/7/24.  This pertains to the content filtering that all (or most) of you are using.
Finally, I'm resending materials that were previously sent due to many additional requests for notice templates and other information that may have been overlooked by some recipients.
Please let me know if there is any additional material you may need and I'll do what I can to provide it.
Thank you,
Thor
