Internet & Device Use (IFBGA)

To comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act, the Board has adopted a policy for internet safety that incorporates the use of technologies designed to block or filter internet access for students; however, it is difficult to catalog all controversial or inappropriate content. The Board has established guidelines so that device and internet users are aware of the responsibilities they are about to assume. Each device or internet user shall be responsible for his/her activities. Use of the district network and devices is a privilege, not a right. District personnel conduct routine monitoring of the system and can track student navigation on the Internet. No information on the network is guaranteed to be private. This includes correspondence sent through district email. Students will receive a copy of the Internet and Device Student Use Agreement on the first day of school to be signed by the student and parent/legal guardian. Inappropriate use will result in disciplinary action according to the SMP Discipline Matrix at the end of this handbook.
