The Bedford School District has adopted a 1-to-1 Chromebook Program which includes the use of Google Workspace for Education, an extensive collection of productivity and collaborative tools used in our classrooms to enhance teaching and learning in innovative ways. In addition to Google Workspace for Education, our teachers use a variety of other online educational apps/tools with students. In today's technological landscape, there are inherent risks with online technology use particularly as it relates to student data privacy and security. The Bedford School District recognizes its ethical and legal responsibility to adequately protect student data and privacy as required under federal and state laws and district policies. In addition, the District believes that transparency with all district stakeholders with regard to its policies and practices around technology use and student data and privacy is important.
More information about the program can be found on the Data Privacy (Families) page of the BSD Technology Family Resources, located under the Technology Department Family tab of the District website (https://bit.ly/BSDDataPrivacyFamilies).
