Alan Rhees works for the District in the Technical Division, he discussed with us the following regarding
Internet Safety in our schools:
He discussed Internet Safety with three prongs; web filtering, monitoring, and the function.
There are several filters in place, to protect what the students are viewing. One filter is iBoss
filter which comes from the UEN, and other filters are those filters from the District.
Filters are also in place per school level and per grade level.
There are 40,000 chrome books that are being monitored throughout the District.
There are Nearpod lessons that provide CIPA training lessons from grades K-12.
The monitoring which is in place is called BARK, this notifies the parents of their students being
on inappropriate web sites.
It was also discussed how to teach the students how to use the technology as a tool.
Some parent resources were shared;
The Art of Screen Time (ekindle – book)
Enjoy screens not too much mostly Together
Digital for Good by Richard Culatta (this book talks about balance)
Be Internet Awesome
There is also a website netsafeutah.org that parents can access to help with internet safety.
It was discussed that it would be a good idea to have some Internet Safety information available
at Back to School Night, with maybe some presentations or information available in the library.
Mr. Rhees was excused and the board talked about ways money has been spent with the current plan.
With regards to Professional Development the teachers have received training with
Solution Tree and how to operate in PLC or Professional Learning Committee.
