Digital hall pass management is a type of product typically used in public K-12 schools that is used to monitor student movement, enhance campus security, and manage "encounter prevention"[1]. These platforms are typically cloud-based and market themselves as easy ways for schools to monitor student behavior. Currently, there are three platforms being used in a majority of public school districts; securelypass by Securely, GoGuardian, and SmartPass. The platform was developed by Eduspire Solutions and was released in 2017, later being released as a mobile app for the Google Play and iOS app stores in 2019[2]. In November, 2022, Eduspire Solutions was acquired by Securely, an educational technology company used by over 20,000 school districts worldwide[3][4].
