No, it should only be the district's device while the district student's login is being used. There's still very much a legally-enforceable expectation of privacy for the other possible users of the machine.
That the user is the actual owner of the equipment makes it pretty important that someone at the school system defined the MDM policies properly so as not to violate other user's privacy rights. ...but considering the way most of them are staffed, they probably screwed up and need to be shown the right way to do it before they land themselves in court.
- cameldrv 5y agoWhy is it ever the "district's device?" It's owned by the parent, it's being used at home. What justification does the district have to monitor anything that's happening not at school using equipment that they do not own that does not involve any of their servers?
- staticassertion 5y agoIt isn't the district's device. OP just enrolled it in the School's GSuite organization so, obviously, policies got pushed. They can just... not do that. If they want to log into apps or whatever on the Chromebook, they do need to do that. At that point the device has to follow policies for accessing the school's services or whatever. They still don't own the device, but they can push policy to it. At any time the device can be removed from the organization, but that has to be done by the organization, I believe. Of course, you can have multiple accounts on the Chromebook, so they could just have the device enrolled for one user, but have a personal account not enrolled. It's all pretty straightforward.
