How can parents be sure that only school staff members who are supposed to have access to their child’s information, have access to BCeSIS?
Access to BCeSIS is granted by individual schools. As such the primary decision maker(s) (i.e. Principal or school administrators) in each school determine the access levels that each staff member should have. Teachers that have been granted access to BCeSIS may only have access to data for their class and their students. For example the Math teacher for Johnny Smith, cannot see Johnny Smith’s Social Studies grades. Another example is that the secretary may only be able to see students’ attendance records and not grades or discipline reports. Staff members who do not need access to BCeSIS will not be given access to BCeSIS. Access is granted on a ‘need to know’ basis and not a ‘want to know’ basis.
