ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC MEDIA 08.2323
The Board supports reasonable access to various information formats for students, employees and the community and
believes it is incumbent upon users to utilize this privilege in an appropriate and responsible manner as required by this
policy and related procedures, which apply to all parties who use District technology.
SAFETY PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
The Superintendent shall develop and implement appropriate procedures to provide guidance for access to electronic
media. Guidelines shall address teacher supervision of student computer use, ethical use of electronic media (including,
but not limited to, the Internet, e-mail, and other District technological resources), and issues of privacy versus
administrative review of electronic files and communications. In addition, guidelines shall prohibit utilization of
networks for prohibited or illegal activities, the intentional spreading of embedded messages, or the use of other
programs with the potential of damaging or destroying programs or data.
Students shall be provided instruction about appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on
social networking sites and in chat rooms and cyberbullying awareness and response.
Internet safety measures, which shall apply to all District-owned devices with Internet access or personal devices that are
permitted to access the District’s network, shall be implemented that effectively address the following:
• Controlling access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet and World Wide Web;
• Safety and security of minors when they are using electronic mail, chat rooms, and other forms of direct electronic
communications;
• Preventing unauthorized access, including “hacking’ and other unlawful activities by minors online;
• Unauthorized disclosure, use and dissemination of personal information regarding minors; and
• Restricting minors’ access to materials harmful to them.
Continued… District Technology Property Deployment Agreement and Access to Electronic Media
A technology protection measure may be disabled by the Board’s designee during use by an adult to enable access for
bona fide research or other lawful purpose.
The District shall provide reasonable public notice of, and at least one (1) public hearing or meeting to address and
communicate its initial Internet safety measures.
Specific expectations for appropriate Internet use shall be reflected in the District’s code of acceptable behavior and
discipline including appropriate orientation for staff and students.
PERMISSION/AGREEMENT FORM
A written parental request shall be required prior to the student being granted independent access to electronic media
involving District technological resources.
The required permission/agreement form, which shall specify acceptable uses, rules of on line behavior, access privileges,
and penalties for policy/procedural violations, must be signed by the parent or legal guardian of minor students (those
under 18 years of age) and also by the student. This document shall be kept on file as a legal, binding document. In order
to modify or rescind the agreement, the student's parent/guardian (or the student who is at least 18 years old) must
provide the Superintendent with a written request.
