Navigating the District DPAs Section on StudentDPA

The "District DPAs" area serves as a comprehensive repository for your LEA's Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) and requests, facilitating easy management and oversight of all your data privacy documentation. This section is divided into several sub-sections, each designed to help you quickly find and act on the DPAs according to their current status:

Approved

  • Overview: This subsection houses all DPAs that have been successfully reviewed and signed. These agreements are currently active, ensuring your LEA's use of various apps is compliant with data privacy regulations.

    Action: Review these DPAs to maintain an understanding of your active agreements and their terms.

Pending

  • Overview: DPAs listed here are either in the process of being negotiated or pertain to unlisted apps for which a DPA is being sought from the vendor.

    Action: Monitor this section for updates on negotiations and to track the progress of pending DPA requests.

Expiring

  • Overview: Agreements nearing their expiration date are flagged here. Renewing these DPAs in a timely manner is crucial to avoid any lapse in coverage and to continue using the associated apps without interruption.

    Action: Initiate renewal discussions with vendors well before the expiration date to ensure uninterrupted service and compliance.

No Longer in Use

  • Overview: If your LEA decides to discontinue using an app for which a DPA was approved, such DPAs are moved to this category. This helps in keeping your active DPAs list current and accurate.

    Action: Marking a DPA as "No Longer in Use" helps streamline your DPA portfolio and focus on the apps that are actively being used.

Rejected

  • Overview: This section contains DPAs that have been reviewed but ultimately rejected by the LEA's authorized signer, indicating that the app should not be utilized by the LEA.

    Action: Review the reasons for rejection to ensure compliance and adjust app usage policies accordingly.
