Thank you for advocating with the school. I've been hearing that
BigBlueButton with Canvas is a good alternative to Zoom for schools. It

run a BigBlueButton d

I don't have any kids, but my school district and other governments who claim
jurisdiction over me also require it.
Since Zoom had said before that it was secure and it turned out that it wasn't,
it certainly doesn't make since to trust them now. The way we do it in the open

I have attempted to join some meetings and discovered that the app was
*required*.
In a pinch you can run Zoom wholly in a browser or other semi-sandboxed
environment such as mobile phone or tablet, without using the desktop app.
I ended up repurposing a neglected chromebook as a zoom meeting appliance
and that's been fantastic for many activities.
