Welcome to
RIC One DPS
Data Privacy and Security Initiative (DPS)
The initiative is designed to provide data security and privacy tools and resources alongside expertise to support districts in the region to meet their data privacy and security challenges. A major benefit of this initiative is the increased confidence of school boards, faculties, parents, and students in their district's ability to protect their data. This initiative supports district compliance with New York State's Common Core Reform Act, Education Law 2-d and Part 121 Regulations. Information and support materials for understanding and implementing the requirement of Ed Law 2-d and Part 121 Regulations can be found using the Resources tab on the menu bar above. If you have specific questions about data privacy and security please contact your local RIC.
