Summary

This bill would require the Chancellor of the City School District to publish on the Department of Education (DOE) website, DOE’s policies and procedures for conducting privacy audits of algorithmic tools, informing individuals affected by data breaches of these tools, and suspending or restricting the use of these tools following a data breach. The bill would also require the Chancellor to issue quarterly reports on data breaches of algorithmic tools used in schools. These reports would include the number of data breaches associated with each algorithmic tool approved for use by DOE, whether the Chancellor has suspended or restricted the use of a tool due to a data breach, and the date of the most recent privacy audit of the tool. Additionally, these reports would identify each data breach that occurred during the past quarter, when the breach occurred, the type of information that was exposed, the number of individuals affected by the breach, and the status of any investigation.
