Kenton City Schools Informs Parents of New Ohio Law Mandating Parental Notification on Monitoring of School-Issued Devices

A new law in Ohio requires school districts to notify parents if they monitor school-issued devices, which includes almost all school districts in the state. 

Superintendent Chad Thrush notified parents that the Kenton City Schools monitors school-issued devices including location tracking, keystrokes, and web-browsing activity. 

He said this is done for the noncommercial education purpose of instruction, technical support, exam proctoring, and/or preventing/responding to threats of life or safety. 

If parents have any questions or concerns, they can contact the main office at their child’s building.
