<p></p><p>The Chancellor sent a family letter home this week <b>approving the use of the Zoom platform</b> for schools. It took time to implement key upgrades to create a safe DOE Zoom platform that meets the educational and safety needs of students, parents, families, and staff. The result of this work is that our school communities may now use a central DOE Zoom account as another DOE-approved video conferencing platform, along with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
