The school board bears responsibility for the manner in which Internet access is provided
and managed within a district. Providing Internet access to students is an action that can
potentially create controversy within the community. Careful board consideration of policies
and practices related to Internet use will position the district to more effectively address any
issues that may arise. The board should provide every parent or guardian with information about
the district policies and practices and provide an option for parents or guardians to request that
their child not be allowed access through the district system.
The district Internet system is being established for an Internet educational purpose.
The system is limited to use of educational and career or professional development activities
and limited high quality self-discovery.
The Superintendent of Schools or his or her appointee is responsible for the overall
system coordination and relationships with other regional or State network programs. The
Superintendent of Schools is also responsible for ensuring that parents/guardians are notified
about the district network and the rules governing its use.
The Principal will be responsible for policy implementation within the classrooms. The
Principal will ensure that all the employees receive instruction in the district policies, establish
a process to ensure adequate supervision of students using the system, establish procedures for
conducting building activities (such as a web page), maintain executed user agreements, and be
responsible for interpreting the district policies at the building level.
