Social Media restrictions for devices connected to the MCPS Network

What's their plan for kids who access those sites via cellular data rather than Wi-Fi?

Also, there are legit use cases to access social media during school, such as doing online research on an organization, school or company, which might include accessing and reviewing their social media accounts

No, there are not.

vape detection sensors for restrooms at HS. once a sensor goes off, someone at the HS goes in and address the issue. WHO exactly is going to be that adult, Mr. Jones?? A teacher??

You’re complaining about Marcus Jones wanting to do something about pervasive vaping in school? Maybe it will be a teacher may be an administrator, but I am so happy they’re doing something to physically address the issue as soon as it’s happening.

I'm not sure why that is optional in MS or HS.

Its nice he's addressing safety. He's a welcome addition to MCPS. The school will have to assign someone.

Most high schools only have one lunch now but there is no need for them to do it on the school chromebooks.

No, there are not.

The kids are communicating about clubs and activities on social media, so the school needs to make another way to do it. At our school its instagram.

Rivera Oven suggests there might be something better than the detectors. She likes human contact.

This is a crazy idea, but it worked when I was in school pre-social media and cell phones. How about the school use…. the PA system?

Wolff pointed out the absurdity of blocking social media on the school Wi-Fi, but still being able to access that over the cellular network and what policies are in place and what to do about cell phones in general.

Taylor: "we're not closing bathrooms this year."

[Anonymous]

Peter Moran just said MCPS will not be closing bathrooms in response to safety incidents this year. GOOD.
