Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you about the new policies related to monitoring school-issued student devices following the passage of Ohio Senate Bill 29 (SB 29). This legislation introduces specific guidelines on how schools can monitor and access these devices, and we want to make sure you are aware of how Sandusky City Schools is complying with these new requirements.
What SB 29 Means for You and Your Child:
Under SB 29, the District or its technology partners are permitted to monitor school-issued devices such as laptops or tablets in order to ensure safety and compliance with school policies. Monitoring may include web activity, and other interactions to prevent potential threats to safety or well-being. This monitoring aligns with educational purposes, including instruction, technical support, exam proctoring, and compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
