Supplemental Information for Parents About DOE Agreements With Outside Entities

Under FERPA and New York State Education Law §2-d, NYC DOE may disclose student information without consent to authorized third parties who have entered into written agreements with us and meet certain requirements. Such third parties must agree to comply with federal, state, and local laws, as well as the DOE’s Data Privacy and Security Policies. They also agree to comply with the DOE’s Parent Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security and complete a supplemental information questionnaire to provide more information to parents, students, and the public about the vendors' data security practices. 

The third parties that the DOE has written agreements with include software providers, community-based organizations, researchers, and related service providers. Third parties only receive the types of student information agreed upon in the written agreement, for the schools or students that have requested to use their products or services, and only as necessary for the provision of those products or services. Please contact your school’s principal if you would like to know which vendor(s) or organization(s) your school uses or partners with.

PLEASE NOTE: The third parties listed below do not comprise a comprehensive list of “approved DOE vendors” and should not be thought of as such.
