Access to the district’s network systems through school resources is a privilege, not a right. The network systems, as well as the User accounts and information, are the property of the district.

Lakeview School District holds data and security in high regard and takes action to ensure that our students' data is handled securely in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

 

Parents and guardians want assurances that personal information and data about their children is secure and protected by our school district. Many questions are arising with the use of the internet, mobile apps, cloud computing, online learning and new technologies used to deliver exciting new education services.

 

At Lakeview School District, we want to be clear about collected student data, and how it is used. We take the obligation of protecting student information seriously and want to be transparent about student information collected and how it is used.

 

Lakeview School District collects limited data for various reasons to support staff, students and parents. Personally identifiable data is protected as required by State and Federal law. Lakeview School District's student data system is ESD. Its Data Protection and Privacy Notice can be found here.

 

In addition to the data collected by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Lakeview School District generally collects and maintains the following on its data systems: 

1. Household Information Including: Parent Name, Address, Email Address, Phone Numbers

3. Student Learning Accommodations (IEP &GIEP), Bus & Transportation, Discipline Incident details, Learning Activities, Transcripts & Grades as well as assessments.
4. Student Schedules, Library books and media borrowed, Locker assignment and technology usage logs.

 

Teachers use data to understand when students are doing well and when they need help with instruction.

Students require feedback so that they can continue to improve or gain support.

Parents require data to know how they can support their children at home and in their studies.

School officials and PDE need to know how the district is performing and make changes to help students succeed.
