Technology Data Privacy Notices
Notice of general monitoring and access
Ohio Revised Code Section 3319.327 defines how and when the district, or a district technology provider, may access or monitor certain technology (e.g. computers, software, and accounts) provided for dedicated student use. Our first priority is always the safety of students, and the district is committed to following all relevant guidelines.
Access and monitoring are primarily done in furtherance of non-commercial educational purposes, including for instruction, technical support, or exam-proctoring. The district may also monitor or access where:
- required by 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
- the activity is necessary to participate in federal or state funding programs
Monitoring may include:
- location-tracking features of a school-issued device
- audio or visual receiving, transmitting, or recording features of a school-issued device
- student interactions with a school-issued device, including keystrokes and web-browsing activity
We are also required to notify you, in writing, within 72 hours of specific instances where the district or a technology provider accesses a school-issued device. This notice is not required at any time when the notice would pose a threat to life or safety. School administrators will send those notifications if and when needed.
See District Policy 5136.01.
