Many school districts across the nation expanded efforts to provide devices like laptops and tablets to students during the global pandemic in an effort to close the homework gap and address inequities in technology access. Part of this shift included the introduction of student activity monitoring software and other digital tools aimed in part at facilitating remote classroom management and driving student engagement. However, these tools can also be used in ways that are unduly intrusive. In this report, we examine whether students who receive school-issued devices are subject to more monitoring than their peers who have their own devices. We also examine local education agencies’ motivations in implementing monitoring and how they communicate about it with parents and students. Building on recent CDT guidance on how schools could address privacy gaps in the implementation of remote education technology (Quay-de la Vallee & Venzke, 2020), this report presents findings based on virtual semi-structured interviews with nine individuals from five local education agencies (LEAs), including district level administrators and information technology (IT) directors.
