Updates to TechSafe Initiative for FY26
The Departments of Teaching & Learning and Educational Technology have partnered together to combine the annual technology training (formerly TechSafe) that meets the requirements of School Board Policy 8.123 with the Resiliency Education program required by Florida Statute 1003.42. This age-appropriate, annual technology training includes topics on internet safety, cyberbullying, and digital citizenship, as well as other required Resiliency Education topics. All K-12 students who use District technology are required to receive technology training in order to comply with School Board Policy 8.123, helping to ensure that students understand the topics within the policy and their obligations to abide by its terms.
