This is a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. I am sending this request to all Chicago-area public school districts| including Hinsdale Township High School District 86| to learn more about each district’s education technology program as it relates to student learning on school- issued devices such as an iPad or Chromebook. I am requesting any and all written agreements and/or contracts between Hinsdale Township High School District 86 and companies that provide content filtering and monitoring software for school district-issued devices for students| including (but not limited to) Bark| Securly| Go Guardian| etc.; and documents sufficient to show policies and guidelines for school district-issued devices for students. Please send all requested documentation to me at [email protected]. If you are not able to send these records electronically| please contact me as soon as possible| so that I can arrange another way to get these records from you. And if there is any way in which I can help in gathering this material| I would be happy to do so. Because these records are in the public interest| I ask that you waive any reproduction fee. And if you deny this request| please tell me on what grounds| and to whom I should appeal.
