BP AR 3522 District Data Protection Program
The Data Protection Board Policy (BP) and Administrative Regulation (AR) were created through a joint effort between AASB (Association of Alaska School Boards) and the Alaska Schools Data Protection Working Group.
AASB put together a task force that included the AASB Executive Director, various Superintendents, ALASBO (Alaska Association of School Business Officials), and various school business officials to revise all BP/ARs in Article 3 Business and Noninstructional Operations. This group then realized the need to create a new model policy that addressed Data Protection. The AASB task force developed a draft model BP and AR that primarily originated from the Mat-Su Borough School District (MSBSD) Information Security Program’s BP & AR due to their successful data protection implementations and refinements.
