But letting them access that same data on their personal computers and laptops is fine?

If banks can let you access your account information on non-bank owned machines and parents can access their kids personal info from their phones I think we can manage a fleet of untrusted endpoints.

Yes, because the school district is not legally liable for parents doing stupid things outside of school grounds, but it is legally liable for its employees' conduct.
Many tens of billions of dollars are stolen via those untrusted endpoints every year, mostly targeting at risk groups like senior citizens.
