ERIE'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS

COPPA imposes certain requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age, and on operators of other websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information online from a child under 13 years of age. Erie’s Public Schools (EPS) utilizes a variety of online platforms to collect, access and analyze student data to improve academic instruction and school performance. In doing so, EPS is also committed to complying with COPPA and believes strongly in the intent of the law: to protect children under age 13 and account for the dynamic nature of the Internet.

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment requires that we provide notice to parents of the instructional materials used as part of the educational curriculum within the district which may involve the collection, disclosure or use of personal information obtained from students, as defined by COPPA, for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to others.  Parents have the right to inspect, upon request, the websites that are used as part of the instructional materials.

The following sites and services have been approved for use district-wide or for particular schools/grade levels. For your convenience, we have provided links below to the operators’ direct notices regarding their information practices. Additional sites will be addes as necessary.
