Notice of Monitoring
Notice of Monitoring
Dear Parent(s),
In accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 3319.327, we are writing to inform you that the District, either directly or through a technology provider, generally monitors the school-issued devices that are provided to District students. This monitoring is generally done in furtherance of educational purposes, including for instruction, technical support, or exam-proctoring.
However, the District may also generally monitor where:
- permitted under a judicial warrant;
- the school district or technology provider is notified or becomes aware that the school-issued device is missing or stolen;
- the activity is necessary to prevent or respond to a threat to life or safety, and the access is limited to
- the activity is necessary to comply with federal or state law; and/or
- the activity is necessary to participate in federal or state funding programs.
Monitoring may include the:
- location-tracking features of a school-issued device;
- audio or visual receiving, transmitting, or recording features of a school-issued device; or
- student interactions with a school-issued device, including, but not limited to, keystrokes and web-browsing activity.
We have a new monitoring software program that does comply to these guidelines but if we have an event that does not meet the circumstances described above, the District will notify you within 72 hours of the event, unless the notice itself would pose a threat of life or safety (in which case it will be given within 72 hours after the threat has ceased).
Sincerely,
Tri-County Career Center
