According to Culbert, the goal is to install the ApParent app on all district devices to be used by students.
In a Tuesday morning workshop, DCPS board members heard a presentation from representatives of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office with internet safety advice for families, including apps designed to conceal content on a device, cyberbullying, sexting and other topics., a system designed to allow parents the ability to automatically screen record their child’s laptop or mobile device or set an automatic, timed screen-lock function to restrict when the device is used.
The district already has strong content filters on all its devices, but the ApParent app will allow parents to place even more robust content restrictions. The information technology department did not require board approval to adopt the ApParent app, which Culbert said was launched Tuesday for devices in secondary schools.
Culbert also provided board members with an update on the impending replacement of the “ClassDojo” app, which had been the main platform on which teachers would communicate with parents.
