For a system to be approved, it must meet the following criteria:
- Used with a District professional account (not tied to a personal account)
- Communication is logged
- Content is educational in nature and safe
- Compliant with FERPA and applicable Nevada data privacy laws
- Voluntary for parents and students or provides the option for the user to opt out of receiving communication
