COLUMBUS, Ohio-Columbus City Schools, Ohio’s largest school district, has implemented surveillance software on students’ devices through a partnership with Gaggle, a student safety technology company. This initiative, started at the end of the last school year, aims to enhance student safety by monitoring online activity for inappropriate sites and behavior. Gaggle’s system provides 24/7 oversight and real-time analysis, detecting signs of self-harm, depression, substance abuse, cyberbullying, and other harmful situations.
