The SCOPE Act, which stands for Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment, provides parents with the right to direct and informed consent over their child's access to digital tools, software, and applications, other than a software application necessary for the administration of an assessment instrument or an assessment relating to college, career, or military readiness for which student performance is considered in evaluating a school district's performance.

BISD is committed to student safety and security initiatives, including those related to digital services and electronic devices.
