Lawrence School District Switches Student Monitoring Software, Faces Criticism for Delayed Records Responses
The Lawrence school district secretly replaced its AI student monitoring tool, Gaggle, with Managed Methods this summer, without public approval or notice. News reports exposed the change in late October, leading to an open records request for documents and communications. The district failed to comply with Kansas Open Records Act rules, taking three months to respond and demanding nearly thirteen thousand dollars for the first request. Critics argue that these delays undermine public trust, while school officials cite the volume of materials and pending litigation. Student journalists suing the district also face obstacles in their records requests, highlighting ongoing tensions over surveillance transparency.
