Approved and Supported Apps and Websites
The adoption and approval of educational apps and websites is guided by federal and state laws.
The information about four specific laws below and this chart from iKeep Safe show what laws govern which type of student data. Services that cannot confirm they comply with these laws are not approved for use by Hueneme students.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law (1998) that places requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children under 13 years of age to protect children's privacy and restrict marketing.
The Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (SOPIPA) is a California law (2014) that requires online service providers to ensure that any data they collect is secure, and to delete student information at the request of a school or district.
California Assembly Bill 1584 (2014) became CA Ed Code 49073.1 and requires that any contract entered into with a third party must ensure the confidentiality of pupil records.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

Some websites are not district-managed but have been approved for use as a teacher option.
The list below represents apps/sites that have been requested by teachers, and the privacy policy has been approved. Teachers may choose to use them with students, but the district office or the tech department do not provide training and support.
If student accounts are required, teachers may search for them in Clever or guide students to create accounts. If a "sign in with Google" button is available, this may be an option as well. Please email Liz Hoppe for guidance if needed.- ABC Mouse
