Board approves Aselis and GoGuardian Teacher as additional traceable communication tools

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.
