4118 Staff Use of District Technology




The internet is a vast collection of educational resources for staff and students and provides access to local, national and international sources of information and collaboration vital to intellectual inquiry. The internet is considered an extension of school libraries and other media/resource centers with a goal of promoting resource sharing, research innovation, communication and opportunity for collaborative work.

The Board of Education supports the use of the internet by staff to improve teaching and learning through interpersonal communication, access to information, research, training and collaboration and dissemination of successful educational practices, methods and materials.
The Board firmly believes that the use of the internet provides valuable information to meet the educational goals of the district.

The Board directs the superintendent to develop procedures for staff use of the internet. Such procedures should address issues of privacy, ethical use of information, illegal and/or unauthorized uses of networks and equipment and other conditions of usage.

Use of these educational resources demands personal responsibility and an understanding of the acceptable use procedures for the internet. Staff use of district technology is a privilege, not a right. General rules for behavior and communications apply when using the internet. Failure to follow the acceptable use procedures may result in the loss of the privilege to use these tools and may result in disciplinary action.
