not accessing inappropriate sites that have visual depictions that include obscenity, pornography,
or are otherwise harmful to minors.

independent use of the Internet. Students who do not use the Internet for the educational purposes
in which it is intended may lose Internet access and as a result will be subject to appropriate
consequences.

The use of the districts technology shall be for educational purposes only. Students and staff
members shall only engage in appropriate, ethical, and legal utilization of the districts
technology devices. The following rules provide guidance to students and staff for the
appropriate use of the districts technology. The districts Administration will determine what
constitutes inappropriate use and their decision will be final. Inappropriate use of the districts

information).
East Sac County CSD Board Packet
Page 14
Students will not plagiarize information accessed through the districts computer,

and right to examine all computer and computer-like equipment and Internet activity
including any logs, data, e-mail, computer disks, and/or other computer related records of
any user of the system. Students and staff waive any right to privacy in anything they
create, store, send, disseminate or receive on the districts computers, computer-like
equipment and computer network systems, including the Internet.

for use while the computer is repaired or replaced. However, there is no guarantee a loaner will

Code No. 601.2


SCHOOL DAY


The student school day for grades one through twelve will consist of a minimum of five and one-half six
hours, not including the lunch period. The school day consists of the schedule of class instruction and class
activities as established and sponsored by the school district. For a 180 day calendar, time during which
students are released from school for parent/teacher conferences or professional development may be
counted as part of students instructional time. The minimum school day will meet the requirements as
established for the operation of accredited schools.

The board may define the number of days kindergarten will be held and the length of each school day for the
students attending kindergarten. The school day will consist of a schedule as recommended by the
superintendent and approved by the board.

For a 180 day calendar, the school district may also record a day of school with less than the minimum
instructional hours if the total hours of instructional time for grades one through twelve in any five
consecutive school days equals a minimum of thirty hours, even though any one day of school is less than the
minimum instructional hours because of a staff development opportunity provided for the instructional staff
or parent-teacher conferences have been scheduled beyond the regular school day. If the total hours of
instructional time for the first four consecutive days equal at least thirty hours because parent-teacher
conferences have been scheduled beyond the regular school day, the school district may record zero hours of
instructional time on the fifth consecutive school day as a school day. Schedule revisions and changes in
time allotments will be made by the superintendent.

When the school is forced to close due to weather or other emergencies, that part of the day during which
school was in session will constitute a school day.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to inform the board annually of the length of the school day.

SCHOOL CALENDAR


The school calendar will accommodate the education program of the school district. The school calendar is
for a minimum of 1080 hours and include, but not be limited to, the days for student instruction, staff
development, in-service days and teacher conferences.

The academic school year for students is for a minimum of one-hundred and eighty days in the school
calendar. The academic school year for students may not begin prior to September but may begin in the
week in which September 1 falls unless a waiver is obtained from the Iowa Department of Education.
Should September 1 fall on a Sunday, school may begin any day during the calendar week which
immediately precedes September 1. Employees may be required to report to work at the school district prior
to this date.

Special education students may attend school on a school calendar different from that of the regular
education program consistent with their Individualized Education Program.

The board, in its discretion, may excuse graduating seniors from up to five days of instruction after the
school district requirements for graduation have been met. The board may also excuse graduating seniors
from making up days missed due to inclement weather if the student has met the school district's graduation
requirements.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to develop the school calendar for recommendation, approval,
and adoption by the board annually.

The board may amend the official school calendar when the board considers the change to be in the best
interests of the school district's education program.
