Teen Social Media and Internet Safety Act
What’s changed
• Tennessee passed the Teen Social Media and Internet Safety Act, requiring schools to teach internet/social media safety and block certain social platforms on school internet unless teacher-authorized.
• New curriculum and guidance on responsible internet use and healthy online behavior are now mandated.
How this impacts you
Schools must ensure students are taught safe online habits and are restricted from harmful or distracting content in digital environments. Educators must support digital citizenship and restrict access to harmful online content.
How GoGuardian supports
GoGuardian Admin’s intelligent filtering & oversight proactively enforces age-appropriate content policies across all devices and networks. Proxy detection prevents access to harmful sites. GoGuardian Teacher helps eliminate digital distractions and keep students focused on class-relevant content.
Early Warning Signs
What’s changed
• Tennessee schools track broader social-emotional indicators and early warning signs (e.g., bullying, cyberbullying, mental health concerns) to inform interventions.
• The NCSSLE shows schools addressing bullying and student mental health needs as ongoing priorities.
How this impacts you
Schools must respond to early warning signs and mental health indicators more proactively. Administrators, counselors, and teachers need tools to identify at-risk students based on digital behaviors.
How GoGuardian supports
GoGuardian Beacon analyzes online activity for signals of self-harm, violence, or crisis. Alerts include contextual details so staff can intervene with confidence.
SAVE Act
What’s changed
• Tennessee’s SAVE Act mandates emergency safety planning, emergency operations plans, and school safety teams.
• Proposed behavior reporting systems aim to help prevent violence and improve threat assessments.
How this impacts you
Schools must maintain up-to-date physical safety plans and account for student movement and safety in real-world contexts. Administrators must track and respond to physical safety concerns efficiently.
How GoGuardian supports
GoGuardian Hall Pass shows who’s where on campus, helping with accountability and tracking during drills or emergencies. It also encourages student accountability for roaming and attendance, as well as helps identify students not accounted for during drills/emergencies.
Internet Safety Law
What’s changed
Tennessee’s internet safety law restricts unauthorized access and protects personal information, and requires schools to limit access to communications that may not protect personal data.
How this impacts you
Districts must ensure student data isn’t improperly accessed or shared, and must comply with privacy laws when using edtech tools. Parents and educators require clarity on how student information is protected.
How GoGuardian supports
With GoGuardian Admin, centralized data and policy enforcement give leaders a unified place to manage settings and privacy preferences. Tools provide controlled oversight solely within authorized educational contexts, complying with privacy norms.
Health and Digital Literacy Curricula
What’s changed
Tennessee continues to emphasize standards-aligned instruction, including health and digital literacy components in curricula.
How this impacts you
Teachers need digital tools that support instruction without adding technology management burden. Schools are held to instructional benchmarks and assessment outcomes.
How GoGuardian supports
GoGuardian Teacher provides classroom visibility, enabling teachers to keep students on task. Features like screen monitoring, tab control, and targeted restrictions help reduce off-task behavior. Reporting features help analyze trends in student engagement and support instructional planning.
