Comments: While this tool seems well suited for the task the person requesting approval wishes to use it for, I think that all the functions are available in Teams. (You can see who has read a Teams post if you use retrun receipt) Safety for students is a concern, anyone can search for 'Bands' and ther is no way to pre-screen posts before they are visible. Students can create their own "Bands' and make them private, and Bands can be linked to a users other social media accounts. Because we have a tool supplied by the district with the ability to track internally and due to privacy and safety concerns, I am not approving the app.

Approved*: No
