A school service provider shall ensure that any successor entity understands that it is subject to the provisions of NRS 388.281 to 388.296, inclusive, and agrees to abide by all privacy and security commitments related to personally identifiable information concerning a pupil collected and maintained by the school service provider before allowing a successor entity to access such personally identifiable information.3. A school service provider shall provide notice to a school district, charter school or university school for profoundly gifted pupils, as applicable, or a private school pursuant to NRS 394.1616, of any breach of the security of the system data in violation of the plan and any actions taken or being taken by the school service provider to address the breach. The notice must be provided as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay. 4. A school district, charter school, university school for profoundly gifted pupils or private school that receives a notice pursuant to subsection 3 shall provide the notice to each pupil affected by the breach or, if a pupil is less than 18 years of age, the parent or legal guardian of the pupil. The notice must be provided as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay.5. As used in this section, "breach of the security of the system data" means unauthorized acquisition of computerized data that materially compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of data concerning pupils that is collected or maintained by the school service provider.
