This list, for which different terms are used, comprises all the words that can trigger an alert, notification or warning when the Gaggle system detects a student using it. Please note: The Gaggle system utilizes their own proprietary algorithms and artificial intelligence to flag content. They do not give us a list of blocked words, nor do we create such a list.
Records of communication with law enforcement having to do with Gaggle incidents or alerts./ Internal reports specifying the number of Gaggle incidents in a given year.
The only record of incident rates would be what was provided in email messages. The reporting system was web-based and, as we no longer use Gaggle , we no longer have access to the dashboards
