XVIII. ACCEPTABLE USE OF COMPUTERS AND NETWORKS<br />
It is the desire of the school district to provide computer access to information of educational relevance and<br />
value to students and of instructional and administrative support to teachers, staff, and administrators. Use of<br />
the Internet and of other networks is particularly useful for educational research, access to instructional<br />
materials, and for scientific and educational information exchange. Such use is encouraged to enhance the<br />
school district’s instructional objectives and for enrichment of the school district’s curriculum. The<br />
information in which students, teachers, staff, and administrators are authorized to have access is only that<br />
information which is appropriate for use in an educational setting and at the age and grade appropriate level.<br />
Use of school district computers is authorized only to further school district purposes. The school district<br />
does not authorize use of its computer resources for private purposes, including activities which are for profit<br />
or for recreation, or for access to information which promotes illegal or immoral activity or which is indecent<br />
or obscene. Rather, use of school district computers to gain access to such information is prohibited.<br />
Students using school district computers to gain such access will be disciplined under the Student Code of<br />
Conduct. Employees doing so commit job related misconduct and are subject to being discharged from<br />
employment for good cause, including but not limited to violating the standards of the profession. Persons<br />
who use school district computers for unauthorized purposes will have their computer privileges revoked or<br />
suspended. Students, teachers, staff, and administrators having access to the Internet or to other networks<br />
may use school district computers for such access only in compliance with the following:<br />
A. Users will maintain the confidentiality of their personally identifiable information, including their<br />
name, home address, and home telephone number and will not release such information to<br />
unauthorized individuals;<br />
B. Users will maintain the confidentiality of their logon identifiers and passwords and will use only<br />
their assigned logon identifiers and passwords;<br />
C. Users will enter their assigned passwords each time access by password is required and will change<br />
passwords immediately when prompted to do so;<br />
D. Users will not gain access to, use, rename, erase, alter, or manipulate another person’s computer<br />
files, programs, or disks and will not introduce or propagate computer codes or passwords which<br />
hinder any other persons’ files, programs, software, or systems;<br />
E. Users will use school district computers only for educationally, instructionally, or administratively<br />
appropriate activities. Users will not use school district computers for private purposes or to gain<br />
access to indecent or obscene information or information which promotes illegal, unethical, or<br />
immoral activities; and,<br />
F. Users will not use the school district computers to transmit vulgar or sexually explicit language or to<br />
annoy, harass, stalk, or threaten other users.<br />
