Rutherford County, TN Schools Tell Parents Not to Monitor Their Child's Virtual Classrooms https://tennesseestar.com/2020/08/15/rutherford-county-schools-tell-parents-not-to-monitor-their-childs-virtual-classrooms/ “RCS strongly discourages non student observation of online meetings due to the potential of confidential information about a student being revealed.” The form asks parents for their signature and warns that “violation of this agreement may result in RCS removing my child from the virtual meeting.” RCS spokesman James Evans addressed the matter in an email to The Star this week. “We are aware of the concern that has been raised about this distance-learning letter that was sent to parents. The intent was not to prevent parents from being involved with their children during distance learning, but it was intended to protect the academic privacy of other students in the classroom who are visible during certain virtual class sessions,” Evans said.
