The New York City Department of Education (DOE) has banned teachers from using Zoom for remote teaching, citing security and privacy concerns with the video-conferencing platform.
“In the course of its credentialing process, the DOE has received various reports documenting issues that impact the security and privacy of the Zoom platform,” reads a memo sent to New York City’s school principals and obtained by Chalkbeat. “Based on the DOE’s review of these documented concerns, the DOE will no longer permit the use of Zoom at this time.”
