SUBJECT:
Summer Content Monitoring (BARK) Alerts
During the summer months, from June 6th until August 11th, content monitoring (BARK) notifications will have the following changes:
- Notifications to schools will only include administrators and not counseling or mental health professionals during this time. This change is to remove notifications for those who are off contract.
- Notifications will go to ALL administrators (rather than to students within an assigned caseload) at each school.
- Notifications that are not considered urgent will not be sent after 2pm to ensure that intervention is reasonable and timely for school personnel.
- Content monitoring (BARK) alerts will be reviewed twice per week in June (while school is not in session) and once per week in July. Notifications will be sent to administrators on those days before 2pm.
- Imminent or urgent alerts will continue to be handled, and we will work directly with administrators when immediate intervention is required.
Should you have any questions please reach out to Angie Rasmussen at angie.rasmussen@jordandistrict.org.
