A Noble Mission to Keep Kids Safe Online

The Challenge:

Founded in 1921, Kelseyville Unified School District is located in a small rural community in northern California. The district serves over 1,700 students across seven schools, and wanted to ensure that both students and the organizational system would be safe while utilizing Google’s suite of educational tools.

Addressing Student Safety Concerns

The Solution:

According to David McQueen, Superintendent of KVUSD, the district sees a large number of students writing about hurting themselves or being bummed about life. Kelseyville Unified School District turned to Gaggle's student safety management platform to ensure that students—and the organization as a whole—are safeguarded in their Google environment.

“What Gaggle does makes my job easier,” said McQueen. “I’m not having to monitor everybody’s accounts—Gaggle is taking care of that and I just receive alerts when something requires my attention.”

When it comes to matters concerning student safety, KVUSD has found the Gaggle platform particularly helpful for incidents involving bullying and fighting.
