1. Access to the Programs:

• School System/ High School Use: To access the Niswonger Online/ APAA programs, the local LEA must sign a standard Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Once the MOU is approved and signed, use and access will begin immediately.

By accessing the program, the LEA enrolling confirms that the enrolled students meet this age requirement.

However, the school must follow all COPPA policies regarding this student before student information is shared.
• Guardian Access: LEAs may choose to link a parent or guardian to a student's enrolled account to monitor the student's progress. Schools are responsible for managing this decision and must promptly update this information in case of changes in custody or other circumstances.
