Approved list of Traceable Communications for BCTC Dual Credit Students
Jason Booher
To support full compliance with SB 181 and to ensure secure, consistent communication with students enrolled in dual credit courses, we respectfully request that your local board of education formally approve the following communication systems currently utilized by KCTCS:
- Blackboard (Anthology)
- Outlook (kctcs.edu domain)
- Starfish (EAB)
These platforms are institutionally managed and provide the necessary traceability to document all communications between school district personnel and students, in accordance with the requirements of the legislation. We are happy to provide any additional documentation or clarification needed to support your board’s review and approval process.
In addition, we respectfully request your assistance in informing school district employees who teach dual credit courses that written parental consent must be obtained for the use of any other communication systems not formally approved by the school board. This includes, but is not limited to, publisher platforms such as Cengage and McGraw Hill (e.g., eBooks and related tools).
