In the online world, safety is paramount. Winfield-Mt. Union School District is augmenting their student safety protocols with a new internet security system. Bark for Schools is a powerful monitoring service that the district is implementing on their school issued devices. The district will be able to track all content students are creating, sharing and sending through school-issued accounts. This will lead to increased detection of incidents involving cyberbullying, threats of violence, predatory advances, sexual content and suicidal ideation. Parents are invited to create an account to participate in the program as well, to receive alerts after school hours, on weekends, breaks and holidays if issues are found on the child’s account. This service is free and optional to use.
