About this Episode
Privacy leadership is no longer a “nice-to-have” in K–12 education—it’s an essential foundation for protecting student data, building trust, and ensuring districtwide compliance. In this episode, we break down insights from CoSN’s recent webinar, Privacy Practices in Action: Getting Started with Privacy Leadership, where district leaders shared how they launched and strengthened their privacy programs using the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) framework.
Listeners will learn how two districts—Vance County Schools (NC) and Corpus Christi ISD (TX)—launched, strengthened, and sustained privacy programs grounded in the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) framework.
