○ Concerns over sharing student data with third party vendors

■ The DOE was very concerned about this issue from the start and

set out to ensure student privacy. Savvas is heavily restricted from

sharing Data. This is part of the DOE contract.

■ Savvas cannot access the Google classrooms. The link of data is

with the teacher to Realize (DOE).

■ Teachers control the link and therefore the DOE.

■ Savvas is not allowed to look at data beyond the "school-level"

reports (District/School/Class(teacher)/Student data are collected

and viewed by the teacher and administration. Savvas cannot see

beyond the school-level data reports).

■ Savvas is fed the data of students via the DOE - STARS. The data

goes into Realize (That's DOE). They are not allowed to utilize the

data under any circumstance. Savvas is not allowed to change

passwords, usernames, or anything else.

■ Realize can also be accessed via TeachHub by the children using

their DOE credentials. That avoids Google.

● PTA Report

○ A Major focus of the PTA is getting some Committees formed and finding

parents to chair them.

○ Trying to bring the library back again.

■ Follow up with when the library is going to be open.

■ What kind of support does the librarian need?
