Sen. John Flanagan, chair of New York’s senate education committee, yesterday released a series of administrative and legislative recommendations for the state to take on safeguarding student data privacy and security.
The recommendations come from two months of often contentious hearings across New York State to discuss Common Core State Standards implementation, student data security and privacy, and a host of other issues. DQC Executive Director Aimee Guidera testified before the education committee at an October hearing in Syracuse.
