General Monitoring of School-Issued Devices:

Please be aware that the District, either directly or through a technology provider, is electing to generally monitor all school-issued devices (as that term is defined by R.C. 3319.325).  The monitoring will include the following features:  location tracking and student interactions with school-issued devices (e.g., keystrokes and web-browsing activity).  The District generally monitors these features for the purpose of noncommercial education, such as instruction, technical support, and/or exam proctoring.  Additionally, these features are generally monitored as a necessary precaution for preventing and/or responding to threats to life or safety.
