Zoom Safety 

Security configurations for all DOE-licensed Zoom meetings are pre-set and controlled by the DOE. Zoom also worked with us to add additional security features to meet our high standards. 

  • Students are blocked from taking control of the screen.
  • The meeting host can mute anyone in the meeting. If you are muted by the host, you cannot unmute yourself.
  • You cannot rename yourself.
  • For live instruction, only the host can invite students to a meeting/classroom. 
  • Students are unable to chat privately with other students.
