Governor Signed
Summary
The bill requires schools and any government agency contracting for them to embed strict privacy terms in contracts with third‑party education technology providers, to notify a vendor within 30 days of any unauthorized student data use, and to terminate the contract if the problem isn’t remedied. It also gives the State Board of Education power to investigate alleged violations, conduct audits, and run a $325,000 grant program that helps rural districts put internet on school buses. The goal is to protect student privacy while expanding connectivity in underserved areas.
