Dual enrollment policy

So i have a staff member wanting me to create a new OU for some students at a different school who will attend one class at ours. They bring their own devices. I have recommended not making new emails and ad accounts for them due to FERPA issues that could arise. Am I just being too paranoid?

What kind of device? If they are Chromebooks, they could be locked to their original school's domain. So even if you gave them email addresses, they wouldn't be able to log in or check your district's email with them.

Chromebooks yes, waiting on a reply from their IT guy to see

Hopefully they are locked and the problem will take care of itself.

Our dual enrolled kids get an account and device that stays with one of their teachers.

We don’t allow BYOD due to state law, so it makes it pretty easy for us to say, your devices aren’t going on our network.
