Introduced Text

Missouri HB3281 establishes statewide digital privacy and academic effectiveness standards for software used in public schools.

HB3281 requires software vendors to execute a statewide digital privacy agreement and obtain independent verification of academic effectiveness before software can be used in Missouri public schools. The statewide digital privacy agreement mandates strict data protections, prohibits addictive design features, and restricts the use of student data. The academic-effectiveness verification must demonstrate that the software improves student learning and meets Missouri standards. The state board of education maintains a master list of compliant software and conducts compliance audits.
