Schools are increasingly relying on technology to support learning, but managing digital devices for students also brings responsibility. Parental apps can help schools maintain safety and accountability—if used properly and in accordance with the law.
Ensuring Student Safety Without Overreach
Schools can utilize parental apps on school-issued tablets, laptops, or phones to safeguard students online.
Monitoring should focus on security (web filters, designated locations for field trips, and restricted app use) rather than excessive surveillance.
Safety features should always respect student dignity and privacy.
Obtaining Parental Consent
Parents must be fully informed before schools install monitoring apps on devices.
Consent should be documented through written agreements or digital acknowledgment.
Clear communication fosters trust among schools, parents, and students.
Staying Compliant with Education and Privacy Laws
In the United States, compliance with COPPA and FERPA is required.
Globally, many regions have strict student privacy protections.
Legal use means schools should never collect more data than necessary, and must retain it only for as long as required.
