Case Study: East Irondequoit Central School District protects students from online danger with Gaggle Safety Management

East Irondequoit Central School District stops a child predator in 4 months with Gaggle

East Irondequoit Central School District, a district with under 5,000 students, faced the challenge of safely implementing student email accounts to access required web-based instructional tools. As a 1:1 district where students take devices home, the executive director of technology was concerned about how to monitor student activity and keep them safe online. The district chose to implement Gaggle Safety Management for Microsoft to address these concerns.

By using Gaggle's service, the district was able to intercept harmful content and prevent a student from being exposed to it. In a specific instance, Gaggle identified a child predator attempting to send pornographic material to an 11-year-old student. This intervention allowed the district to work with police, leading to a four-month investigation that resulted in the arrest and conviction of the predator. The solution proved critical in keeping students safe in their digital environment.
