Information about SB 29:
Ohio Senate Bill 29 (SB29) is a bill that aims to improve data privacy and cybersecurity in Ohio schools: 


  • Technology use
    The bill requires schools to upgrade their technology and enhance data privacy protocols. It also prohibits school districts and technology providers from electronically accessing certain features of school-issued devices, such as location tracking, audio and visual recording, and student interactions. 


  • Digital equity
    The bill promotes digital equity across Ohio's schools by mandating greater access to technology. 


  • Student data privacy
    The bill governs how technology providers collect, use, and protect student data. It requires that each contract between a technology provider and a school district include appropriate security safeguards for educational records. 


The bill has passed and is effective as of October 24, 2024. However, some say that the bill's impact on schools raises concerns about how they'll meet new data privacy standards and upgrade infrastructure.
