Notes
The Oregon state contract with Google states all students using Google Apps for Education must have a signed parent consent on file with the school district. You'll find an electronic copy of a parent consent form here: http://goo.gl/Am9AR (this is a Google FORM attached to a spreadsheet, maybe not the best method for families that are not online). Below are translations of the actual consent form used in Oregon. We recommend modifying this, including it in your student intake process, and keeping it on file for all student Google Apps for EDU users.

How should we set up Google Apps for EDU to comply with US/NY K-12 education law?
Problem of practice
By default, Google Apps for EDU does not necessarily comply with all Federal and Local requirements for privacy, child protection, and public-sector and school record-keeping practices. How do you tweak it to get closer to compliance without incurring huge costs, financial or pedagogical?
Solution
This video presents the major categories of legal concern in the context of how Oregon State facilitates Google Apps for EDU accounts for all districts in the state, and provides concrete recommendations for configuring your school's domain.
