Board adopts electronic-communication policy to comply with SB 181, names approved platforms
Summary
The Edmonson County Board of Education approved Board Policy 09.4262 on student–staff electronic communication (second reading) to comply with SB 181 and listed approved platforms including ClassDojo, school email, Google Classroom and Blackboard.
The Edmonson County Board of Education on July 28 approved the second reading of Board Policy 09.4262, implementing provisions to comply with SB 181 governing student–staff electronic communications. The policy change matters because it sets which electronic communication formats meet the board’s SB 181 compliance requirements and establishes approved channels for teacher–student contact. The motion by Chair Alex Ulm, seconded by Mark Rich, passed and the minutes list the approved communication formats as: Class Dojo, school email, Google Classroom and Blackboard. The minutes record the motion as unanimously approved. The board noted the approval is intended to meet the requirements of SB 181; the minutes do not include additional detail about enforcement, monitoring, or disciplinary mechanisms tied to the policy. District staff and families should expect that, per the approved policy list, those four platforms meet the board’s stated compliance standard for student–staff electronic communication.
