0167.1 - USE OF ELECTRONIC MAIL

Under no circumstances shall Board members use E-mail to discuss among themselves Board business that is only to be discussed in an open meeting of the Board, is part of an executive session, or could be considered an invasion of privacy if the message were to be monitored by another party.
     
There should be no expectation of privacy for any messages sent by E-mail. Messages that have been deleted may still be accessible on the hard drive, if the space has not been occupied by other messages. Messages, deleted or otherwise, may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act, unless an exemption would apply.
      
Further, the Board prohibits adults from knowingly distributing to minors any material that is obscene and harmful to minors, as defined in F.S. 847.012, in any format through e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the District's network. An adult who knowingly distributes any such material to a minor through e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the District's network also commits a felony under State law.
