PIPC President Amelia Vance is quoted in an EducationWeek article about three new bills being considered by Congress and their implications for K-12 schools. The article was reporting on an SIIA webinar that Vance participated in on April 15.

COPPA 2.0 would enable schools to consent on behalf of their students to provide access to ed-tech platforms schools have thoroughly vetted and with which they have entered into contracts.
This update is a step in the right direction for superintendents, said Vance, who also heads the Student and Child Privacy Center for AASA, the School Superintendents Association.
