The "control of the device" hasn't been handed over to anyone. If you log into another account, or go into guest mode, GoGuardian will not be present. In fact, you couldn't find out if GoGuardian was installed on another account you aren't logged into, because every account has all user data encrypted. The school won't be able to see anything about non cps.edu accounts - they don't know if they exist, what the email addresses were, etc.

There is no concept of installing or running programs outside of a login on ChromeOS. There is also only one form of device ownership, and that is device enrollment (which is not what is being described by OP), and the set of policies that are applied to enrolled device. Logging into an account cannot apply device policies.

cps.edu is who's enforcing that while you use a cps.edu account, you have to use their software (only while logged into that account or browser). BYOD devices are still yours and you can remove the account with a press of a button.

The verbiage of this article: "Google’s experiment ... has failed" - seems to be written by someone who doesn't know what an experiment is for. It did exactly what it was meant to - provide the data needed to make the right decision. Kudos to those involved for following the data.

The experiment didn't fail, it concluded.

Goodwill is already a 501(c)3, why not just donate to them directly and let them decide how to best use the funds?

No real surprises here, but the notable front runners are Waymo, with 352544.2 miles and 63 disengagements (5595.9 disengagements/mile) and GM Cruise with 131675.94 miles and 105 disengagements (1254.1 disengagements/mile).

A distant third is Nissan with 5007 miles and 24 disengagements, for 208.6 disengagements/mile.

All others have less than 5000 miles driven and less than 200 miles/disengagement
