Ohio Senate Bill 29

Re: General Monitoring of School-Issued Devices
Dear Parent(s),
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 non-commercial education purpose of 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.
Sincerely,
Brad Hall
Superintendent
Bellefontaine City Schools
