General Monitoring Annual Notice

  • Dear Parent(s),

    We have provided information to you regarding how the District monitors school-issued devices that are provided to District students.  Due to a recent change in Ohio law, we are re-issuing this notice with certain changes:

    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, monitors school-issued devices provided to District students for dedicated student use.  This monitoring is generally done in furtherance of educational purposes, including for instruction, technical support, or exam-proctoring.  However, the District may also monitor where:

    • permitted under a judicial warrant or subpoena;
    • 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 that purpose;
    • 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.

     

    By law, we are also required to notify you, in writing, within 72 hours of certain specific instances where the District or a Technology provider accesses a school-issued device.  We will send those notifications if and when needed.

    Sincerely,

    Pickerington Local Schools
