Lawrence Schools Replace Gaggle with New AI Surveillance Tool
The Lawrence school district has replaced Gaggle with a new AI surveillance tool called Managed Methods, according to Superintendent Jeanice Swift.
Gaggle, the previous AI monitoring software, sparked a federal civil rights lawsuit by current and former students due to its monitoring of Google Workspace content.
- Gaggle flagged content deemed a safety risk, including:
- Allusions to self-harm
- Depression
- Drug use
- Violence
The district had ceased use of Gaggle during the summer, according to court filings by attorneys for Lawrence Public Schools.
However, the court documents did not mention the new program, Managed Methods, which can perform similar file monitoring to Gaggle.
Author's summary: Lawrence schools replaced Gaggle with Managed Methods.
