There is no question that school districts have many unique and challenging tasks when it comes to assuring data privacy within their networks and digital learning environments. Addressing the variety of national, state, and local legal requirements while at the same time leveraging technology for learning and operations comes with challenges for school leaders that are both critical and constant.

In this edWeb podcast, three leading-edge superintendents join in conversation with CoSN’s Data Privacy Project Director to review the content and recommendations included in the freely accessible CoSN 2025 National Student Data Privacy Report. An overview of CoSN’s free Student Data Privacy Toolkit is also presented.

The superintendent panel shares examples of successful data privacy procedures that are currently in place in their school districts and the types of support needed to ensure each district is successful in implementing their data privacy practices. They also discuss the barriers and challenges involved in assuring ongoing data privacy for their school districts.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 district leaders, school leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, and librarians.
