7543 - REMOTE ACCESS TO THE DISTRICT'S NETWORK

The Board encourages employees, parents, students, and community members to check the District's website regularly for changes to these resources and for the addition of other resources. Some resources may require a user name and password, or a login procedure due to the personally identifiable nature of the information provided through that resource (e.g., the gradebook program and e-mail system). If a user name and password, or login procedure, is necessary to access a resource, information shall be provided on the website explaining who is eligible for a user name and password, how to obtain a user name and password, and detailed instructions concerning the login process.

Access to the District Network through Server

The IT Director, Buildings and Grounds Director, and designated contractors and/or vendors are permitted to use their personally-owned or District-owned computer or workstation and/or web-enabled devices of any type to remotely (i.e. away from District property and facilities) access the District's server and thereby connect to the District's Network. This policy is limited to remote access connections that are used to do work on behalf of or for the benefit of the District including, but not limited to, reading or sending e-mail and reviewing District-provided intranet web resources.

Each individual granted remote access privileges pursuant to this policy must adhere to the following standards and regulations:

  1. the device computer/device must have, at the minimum, the anti-virus software specified in the District's standards for remote access and connection

  2. the individual may only access the Network using his/her assigned user name and password

    The individual must not allow other persons, including family members, to use the user name and password assigned to login into the Network. The user may not go beyond authorized access.

  3. the device may not be connected to any other network at the same time the individual is connected to the Network, with the exception of personal networks that are under the complete control of the user

  4. the individual may not access non-District e-mail accounts (e.g. Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and the like) or other external resources while connected to the Network

  5. the device may not, at any time while the individual is using remote access to connect to the Network, be reconfigured for the purpose of split-tunneling or dual-homing

  6. use of the Network is contingent upon the individual abiding by the terms and conditions of the District's Network and Internet Acceptable Use and Safety policy and guidelines

    Users may be required to sign the applicable agreement form (staff or student) prior to being permitted to use remote access.

Additional standards and regulations for remotely accessing and connecting to the District network may be developed and published.

Any user who violates this policy may be denied remote access and connection privileges.

Any employee who violates this policy may be disciplined, up to and including termination; any contractororvendor who violates this policy may have their contract with the District terminated.
