CCSD Cracking Down on Texting Between Staff and Students

13 Clark County School District teachers have been arrested over the last school year, for sexual misconduct with students. Now the district is creating rules about texting and inappropriate communications with students. Among other things, they are mandating that communications via text are “log-able” meaning that records are kept. Staff are not allowed to communicate or “friend” students on social media unless they have permission from parents first. If a staff member does text a student, they must do it in a group chat with other students or staff, and only between the hours of 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., unless it’s an emergency.
