Please complete this form to request approval of a website or app prior to use in student instruction. We will notify you within one week if your request has been approved.

Federal law requires districts to use due diligence in approving software platforms require students' personal information, including their district email address and name.
Schools and districts will typically need to evaluate the use of online educational services on a case-by-case basis to determine if FERPA-protected information (i.e., PII from education records) is implicated. If so, schools and districts must ensure that FERPA requirements are met (as well as the requirements of any other applicable federal, state, tribal, or local laws).
Should a teacher use a site or share student information with an online provider without having first obtained approval, he/she is personally liable for any issues that arise, such as a data breach, content concerns, or violations of federal privacy laws.
