Compliance – SCOPE Act

The SCOPE Act (HB 18) is now in full effect. Lightspeed can help Texas districts comply with SCOPE requirements.

Is your Texas district SCOPE-compliant?

Texas’ Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment (SCOPE) Act, also known as House Bill 18 (HB 18), is aimed at protecting students online. Article III of the act is specific to K-12 districts and put various requirements on schools.

The State will enforce the SCOPE Act with fines of $10,000 per violation.

The SCOPE Act (aka HB 18) focuses on: 

Empowering parents with additional rights and tools to keep their children safe online
Providing enhanced online privacy protections for children
Placing a duty on digital service providers to limit access to harmful online content
Requiring the adoption of standards for permissible electronic devices and software applications used in school districts

Lightspeed is here to help with SCOPE compliance and other regulations.
