Limit the pass asking to the first 10 minutes of class?
If I don’t sign the digital consent will my child be opted out?[/quote]

Not sure about the ePass, but several online software/apps are not included in the consent form - because FCPS has already approved them for you.[/quote]

I thought that the apps not included in the digital consent fodm must abide by FERPA.

It does not appear that a tracking app that identifies minor students bathroom habits is covered by FERPA.

Does anyone with a better understanding want to chime in?[/quote]

Not sure if this helps -- The fifth question listed under FAQs on the LBSS webpage on e-Hall Pass states that the e-Hall Pass uses PII, as defined by FERPA, via the Google Login.  Because the data stored by e-Hall Pass contains PII, Eduspires Solutions signed a Data Protection Agreement (DPA) to cover FCPS’s FERPA responsibility.  That's why parent permission is not required.

Thanks!  So Lake Braddock uses it, does Irving?  Is there a place we can find out which schools use this?[/quote]

Irving is using it. I think it's brand new. I can see the benefits from the point of view of controlling behavior. Admin can see if there are patterns of certain kids taking passes at the same time (like to meet in the bathrooms for drug use/selling/causing trouble). But I also see the drawbacks for teachers having to disrupt their teaching to approve passes when it would be easier for a kid to just pick up a paper pass. [/quote]
