Plainfield Public Schools -Privacy Information
The Plainfield Public School District is committed to
protecting privacy and developing technology that gives students the
most powerful and safe educational experience. The District complies
with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which has a
goal of protecting a student's educational records. Although FERPA
regulations apply only to students, Plainfield Public Schools is equally
committed to protecting the privacy of all data.
Plainfield must ensure that both teaching and learning
capitalize on technological resources in the classroom to sustain a 21st
century learning environment. Quality educators must provide students
with access to rich technological resources and must model appropriate
applications through their instructional practices. Empowering students
with access to great knowledge resources demands great responsibility
for promoting safe and ethical practices when using such technologies.
Students must be provided instruction through technology, access to
information, applications for technology consistent with workplace and
societal expectations, measures of progress towards real-life
applications of technology and evidence of effective use of technologies
for knowledge and skill development.
