In 2024, the WV Legislature passed SB466, which requires students in grades 3–12 to receive annual instruction on safe and responsible technology use through the Safety While Accessing Technology or (SWAT) Education Program.

SWAT uses an interactive story in a gaming framework. The topics in the game are serious but presented in age-appropriate ways. Students will encounter realistic online safety challenges and make choices that teach them to recognize danger, protect their information, and speak up when something feels wrong.

The WVDE has prepared Parent Guides with more detailed information for your review and a link to that information can be found at https://boe.mars.k12.wv.us/page/cipa-information

If you have concerns about your child participating in the SWAT program, you will also find a Parent Opt-Out Form at the site mentioned above.
