Welcome to the District's technology services' homepage.
Acceptable Use Of Technology Policy
Technology
use is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in
disciplinary consequences. Technology is used to support student
learning and enhance instructional programs. The Internet makes it
possible for students to access many types of resources and to interact
with other students, individuals, or services located inside and outside
the District. The District does not control the content of the
information available through any Internet service. Some of the
information available through the Internet may contain harmful matter,
or be otherwise inappropriate for educational purposes. The District
does not condone the access or use of such information and, to the
extent possible, will restrict student access to such information. To
the extent that the use of technology and electronic information
resources serves the educational needs of students and supports
instructional programs, the District believes strongly in the importance
of such technology and regards technology use as a privilege, not a
right. It is, therefore, expected that student and staff-system users
will act in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and legal manner at all
times.
Acceptable use of technology includes
communication in support of research and learning, access and
exploration of appropriate information and resources, on assignments or
projects. Routine maintenance and monitoring of computer and Internet
systems will occur. Use of technology that results in compromising the
security of the operating equipment and/or software is prohibited. The
District reserves the right to conduct individualized searches of a
user’s actions on the network if there is reasonable suspicion that a
law or rule has been violated. Students found to have engaged in
unacceptable use may be subject to a parent conference; suspension
and/or termination of computer-use privileges, e-mail and Internet
access; a zero grade on related assignments and/or removal from the
course; suspension and/or expulsion from school; referral to law
enforcement authorities; legal action to recover damages and penalties;
or other appropriate consequences. Education Code Section 48900(r)
specifically states that bullying by means of an electronic act is a
suspendable violation.
