Types of Student Data Collected by DCSD, Beyond What CDE Requires

While the majority of data collected by the district is for serving regulatory requirements from a federal agency or state regulatory agency, some student data may serve operational needs local to the district such as emergency communications with families, facilitating transportation, providing certain services to students, facilitating formative assessments, etc.

Student data is highly regulated by multiple federal and state laws including FERPA, COPPA and HB 16-1423, and is maintained per records retention policies of the district. Within district systems access to this data is defined and restricted by staff role, and system users are required to log-in through secure channels to access such data.
