The district subscribes to an electronic monitoring service that filters content. Administrators are notified of any issues regarding inappropriate use of electronic devices, and follow-up discussions are held with parents and students. The IT department runs cybersecurity and phishing tests for our staff, and training in this area is provided to staff.
