Ask Before You App 

The district's policy is to "Ask Before You App" to ensure all educational technology tools used in our schools are approved and compliant with student data privacy regulations.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Any data that can be used to identify a specific individual. Examples include name, email,  birthdate, student ID number, educational records, signing in with Google, and sites that require students to create user accounts or to set up individual student profiles. 

Before introducing any new app or website that collects personally identifiable information (PII) from students, please follow these steps:

1. Check the Approved EdTech Tools Database: Visit CJUSD's Resource List of approved educational technology tools to confirm whether the app or website is approved. This list can be found in ClassLink in the orange “IT Help” folder.

2. Request Approval for New Tools: If the app or website is not listed in the database, please request approval by completing an IT work order. 

3. Please wait for Approval: Do not use any unapproved app or website with your students until the board of education has approved a data privacy agreement. Once the agreement is signed, the database will be updated.

Ask Before You App information and application can be found in ClassLink in the "IT Help" folder.
