Keynote Speech
Privacy Considerations in Educational Databases: What’s the Big Deal?
Kathleen Styles, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. Department of Education
Most states have taken up the opportunity to use statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDS) funding to establish state-level longitudinal databases. These databases should enable us to do great things, to answer questions using facts, to find out what works and what doesn’t, and to provide non-partisan answers to thorny questions of education policy. But some stakeholders in the privacy community object to this initiative. Come understand what they’re concerned about and what we in the education community can and should do to respond.
