2019 - 2020 School Year

  

Where are the legal documents that apply to the Summit Learning program for the 2019-2020 school year?

The legal terms applicable to those who use the Summit Learning Platform as part of their participation in the Summit Learning Program are the User Agreement and Privacy Policy.  A new Privacy Policy and User Agreement will be made available for the 2019-20 school to reflect the shift in the operation of the Program from Summit Public Schools to a new nonprofit, T.L.P. Education.

Some of the changes compared to Summit Public Schools’ own privacy policy and user agreement are described below. Nothing is changing about how the Summit Learning Platform collects or uses student personal data.

    • Added a commitment to provide users with 30 days notice for any material changes to the Terms.
