Detailed list of guardrails to evaluate in order to prevent misuse of school issued devices:

• Replacing “blocking” or “blacklist” approach to a default deny or “whitelisting” strategy, restricting access to only explicitly approved educational sites and apps. Deny broad access to YouTube: require videos not explicitly on teacher approval list to be blocked.  Publish the current allowlist so parents know exactly what's accessible.

• Disabling Guest Mode, Incognito Mode, and personal accounts, which let students bypass filtering entirely

• Blocking any app, including educational apps, that contains chat or messaging features — these can expose kids to strangers and inappropriate content regardless of the app's primary purpose

• Disabling use of cameras and audio recording

• Implementing school wide device lock down during recess and lunch

• Give parents and students a simple, formal channel to report inappropriate content or apps encountered on school devices
