Cloud Infrastructure ServicesThe K-12 mandate is the education and preparation of students to contribute to the modern world, while conforming to a tight budget. Today’s K-12 is driven by IT; through its ability to deliver curricula, experience, and administrative services.

Privacy and Cloud Computing in K-12Fordham University Study
The key findings from the analysis are:
• 95% of districts rely on cloud services for a diverse range of functions including datamining related to student performance, support for classroom activities, student guidance, data hosting, as well as special services such as cafeteria payments and transportation planning.
• Cloud services are poorly understood, non-transparent, and weakly governed: only25% of districts inform parents of their use of cloud services, 20% of districts fail to havepolicies governing the use of online services, and a sizeable plurality of districts haverampant gaps in their contract documentation, including missing privacy policies.
• Districts frequently surrender control of student information when using cloudservices: fewer than 25% of the agreements specify the purpose for disclosures ofstudent information, fewer than 7% of the contracts restrict the sale or marketing ofstudent information by vendors, and many agreements allow vendors to change the terms.

Student Information Privacy Recommendations
Fordham University Study / December 2013
• Contractual language on data breach and how breaches are dealt with by vendor
• Vet vendors and users to ensure district policies are met
• Establish a CSO for larger districts
• Provide transparency on cloud usage
• FERPA Guidelines
