Not Approved
Why this application is not approved: The policies for WhatsApp are clear that the service does not retain any messages once they are delivered. As a result, the district would not be able to access the communications between students and/or staff. Since the district is legally obligated to retain written communications, this feature is not permitted by approved communications tools. WhatsApp may not be used in Seminole County Public Schools as a result. Please use one of the approved communications tools for any school related messages.
