New Communication Tool
Senate Bill 181 was recently signed into law in Kentucky and becomes effective Friday, June 27. This legislation set new requirements for how school employees and volunteers communicate electronically with students. To be in compliance, our district has adopted a new platform setup through the Boone County Schools app for staff/student communication. The intent is to promote transparency, safeguard students and ensure all communication is traceable and accountable. In addition to this resource, school email, Canvas are other viable ways to communicate. School staff are not permitted to communicate with students through texting, social media platforms and can only use district-approved platforms. Our weekly newsletter will change over to this new district wide platform beginning next month, July 2025.
See the message below that was sent out from our district office recently:
