USBE Safe Use of Technology Resource

Student Services Community,


WHAT: The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) has released a new parent education video developed in response to S.B. 98 (2025): Parental Education on Student Use of Technology Amendments. The video provides parents and guardians with clear, accessible information about technology-related risks and safety considerations for students.


WHO: For all Utah school districts, charter schools, parent organizations, and community partners who support family engagement and student safety.


WHEN: Available now



WHERE: USBE Prevention YouTube Channel


For more information visit USBE’s Safe Use of Technology webpage for additional information.


ACTION: Please share this video widely with parents and guardians through your regular communication channels. Districts and schools are encouraged to incorporate the video into parent outreach, training, and engagement efforts.


INFORMATION: During the 2025 Legislative Session, the Utah State Legislature passed S.B. 98, aimed at increasing parental awareness about the safety and legal risks students may encounter when using technology.


In collaboration with Bonneville Communications, the Utah State Board of Education has created a brief, informative video to help families better understand issues such as:

  • Risks associated with sharing personal information online
  • Dangers tied to creating or sharing sexual or nude images, including artificially generated images
  • Practical ways families can support safe and responsible technology use

USBE has made this resource available statewide to ensure every parent has the opportunity to learn about these important topics.


Thank you for helping us empower families with the knowledge they need to guide and protect students in today’s digital environment.

For all training requests, please use the Student Services Training Request Portal (TRP).
