Bristol Public Schools is committed to protecting the privacy of
its community and utilizing technology that gives students an engaging
and safe educational experience. Bristol Public Schools complies
with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) as well as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Bristol Public Schools collects and uses data from our students and teachers to
inform instructional practice and improve the learning experience. In
some cases, this data is not stored on our local servers. In all cases
where data may be stored or accessible outside the district, that vendor
must comply with FERPA regulations. Many of our vendors have already
taken the Student Privacy Pledge.
Effective October 1, 2016, all new contracts must also comply with CT State law, CT PA16-189. This page will serve as an informational gateway for the Bristol Public Schools compliance with PA16-189.
