I believe your school has the right to monitor email as long as you define =
the policy in your AUP. You are walking into minefield as it pertains to p=
rivacy, legality, ethics and trust issues. I recommend looking at other m=
ethods of dealing with cyber-bullying before scanning student email for key=
words or phrases. =20
If you move forward with monitoring I suggest you take a look at your firew=
all solution and see if the manufacture has the ability to log and analyze =
communications traffic. (email, blog, chat)

Our school has issued email accounts to our students but there is some conc=
ern about appropriate use and bullying. Is there software available for mon=
itoring content on student emails?
