SB181 Traceable Communications

Through Senate Bill 181, state law now requires all school districts in Kentucky to implement a traceable communications platform to be “the exclusive means for school district employees and volunteers to communicate electronically with students.”

To meet the mandate of SB181 and improve two-way communication, the Fayette County Board of Education approved the use of ParentSquare at its May 2025 action meeting. Without a waiver on file at school, the only other legal ways to communicate with students is through their parents/guardians or via these other board-approved, traceable communications tools. *
