A seal of digital privacy distinction.
By school system For school system leaders.
School systems that earn the seal have demonstrated they are taking measurable steps to assure the privacy and security of
student data.
What is the TLE Seal?
The TLE Seal is a mark of distinction for school systems, signaling they have
taken measurable steps to assure the digital privacy of student data.
How is the Seal different from other privacy pledges and programs?
The TLE Seal is the only privacy assurance program developed by K12
school leaders for K12 schools.
Who is eligible to earn the Seal?
School systems of all governance structures; public, private, charter and parochial. Individual schools within a
larger system are not eligible.
Does earning the TLE Seal ensure a school system has complied with federal and/or
state privacy laws?
Compliance with applicable privacy laws should be considered a minimum standard and it is the responsibility of schools and
service providers. The TLE Seal will consider practices that may not be required by law, but
that are important to protect student data.
