Instruction

 

The Board of Education allows the District and schools within the District to create and maintain Websites for educational purposes. Web sites are avenues for educating, providing information, communicating and expressing creativity. District and individual school websites shall be used to share information about school curriculum and instruction, school-authorized activities, and other information relating to our schools and our mission. Websites may also provide instructional resources for staff and students.

 

The content of materials published on websites should be professional quality and consistent with the education mission of the school system. Websites shall follow standards for ethical behavior in regard to information and technology by showing respect for the principles of intellectual freedom, intellectual property rights and the responsible use of information and technology. Pages shall reflect an understanding that both internal and external audiences will be viewing the information.

 

Any pages or links representing the school district shall follow guidelines and responsibilities pertaining to content standards, student records, copyright, technical standards, and accessibility for disabled individuals which are contained in the administrative regulations which accompany this policy.
