Explicit material on school-issued devices

After an audit on school-issued computers, State Auditor Stacey Pickering says his office found pornography and other explicit material on computers that some public schools issued to middle and high school students.
The auditor’s office reviewed 150 devices issued to students in nine of the 144 school districts. The report says all nine districts take steps to filter what students might see on the devices, but not all are completely following their own policies. The report says 20 percent of the devices contained explicit material.
Pickering recommends the state department of education require all school districts to monitor school-issued laptops or tablets when the electronic devices are off-campus.
