Policy 580: Student Tracking Safety Devices

The District is interested in the safety and privacy of all students. In consideration of student privacy concerns, the District requires listen-in technology to be disabled while the device is at school, on District-provided transportation, and at school-sponsored events. The District prohibits unauthorized audio or visual recordings or transmission of audio or images of other students. (See Policy 553 – Student Use of Personal Communication Devices).

Parents and guardians shall obtain approval from the building principal before operating a student tracking safety device or other electronic device with recording or listen-in capability, such as Angel Sense, at school or at a school-sponsored event. Any parent or guardian receiving permission to use an electronic device with listen-in capability may be requested to enter into a user agreement with the school to define the scope and limits of such use.
