Year: 2023

The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent transition to virtual learning increased the number of "free" online learning resources and applications accessed by school divisions across the U.S. Teachers signed up for many free resources to help with this abrupt change, giving those companies access to students' personally identifiable information. The Henrico Digital Resources Menu project focused on providing Henrico County Public Schools staff, students and families with access to a digital learning platform that would help them make informed decisions about selecting resources that protect student privacy while maximizing learning opportunities for our students.
