March 16, 2020
Burwell Public School’s WiFi and hardwired data network is CIPA compliant and thus blocks known sites associated with mature or violent content and security threats such as malware. It also attempts to block access to social media sites, non-educational YouTube videos, and other distractions from instruction.
Take-home Chromebooks are configured with the GoGuardian Security to provide similar filtering at all times. However, students can sometimes find ways around the various protective technological barriers on their Chromebooks due to the ever-changing nature of the internet.
It is NOT possible for the district to filter students' personal cell phones or tablets or other non-district devices when they are accessing a cellular data network or home wifi.
We encourage parents to diligently monitor their children’s use of technology during this time to ensure a safe educational experience. If you are concerned about how your child is using any device for internet access, consider restricting their access to the device to public areas of the home in your presence, or contact the school with any questions or concerns.
