The Brown County Board of Education voted Sept. 16 to approve two additional traceable communication platforms the district already uses: Aselis (a virtual credit‑bearing/learning management module used by the district) and GoGuardian Teacher (a classroom monitoring and messaging tool for Chromebooks).

Mr. Rowe explained Aselis includes a module that allows teachers to message students about assignments and quizzes in a way that produces an auditable record. He said GoGuardian Teacher allows staff to send a message that appears on a student’s Chromebook screen when the student veers from class work, helping teachers redirect students and keep records of communications. "This is another thing that we can use as a communication tool and again it's traceable so it complies with everything that the law says it should be," Mr. Rowe said.

Board members voted to approve the platforms; no objections were raised during the meeting. Staff indicated both platforms are already in district use and that board approval formalizes their use as traceable communication tools under district policy.
