Data Collection and Privacy Practices

TEA has robust protections in place to guard confidential student data. Bluebonnet Learning Edition 1 instructional materials have a digital component that is only accessible to teachers to view lesson plans and related content. No student-level data is captured digitally. Digital versions of Bluebonnet Learning content for students are limited to PDFs that can be shown on student laptops, although printed versions of the material are preferable for learning. Importantly, no student surveys are ever administered as part of any Bluebonnet Learning materials.

Beyond Bluebonnet Learning, all digital learning products used in schools must comply with federal and state student privacy laws. Any student data collected, in assessments or otherwise, are fully protected by federal law in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. §1232g, and Texas Education Code §32 Subchapter D and Texas Government Code §552.114 and §2054. Any digital learning materials made available to school systems by TEA must meet high standards of data privacy and cybersecurity enforced by contract terms and conditions by TEA. Cloud services must comply with the Department of Information Resources TX-Ramp program.
