7540.01 - SECURITY OF ELECTRONIC DATA/NETWORK SECURITY
It is essential that every staff member pay strict attention to unauthorized access to our computer network. Student access to computer networks threatens the security of very important information. Passwords are assigned to instructional staff and other network users to provide a secure pathway into our network, and to limited unauthorized access.
By action of the Joint Steering Committee February 9, 1999 (GENL0618), disciplinary action will be taken when teachers, other staff, or students:
disclose a personal password(s) or attempt to ascertain the password(s) of another;
attempt to log on to the network as a system administrator or represent themselves as another person through the use of another person’s password; or
intentionally seek information on, obtain copies of, or modify files, data, or passwords belonging to other users, or misrepresent other users on the network.
Students and staff shall not infiltrate or "hack" this network nor outside computer systems or networks. Users shall not disrupt a system or interfere with another’s ability to use the system. Using this network to send viruses, "Spamming", denial of service attacks, and "bombs" are examples of inappropriate behavior that will not be tolerated.
Students and staff shall not use the School Corporation’s computer network to solicit sales or conduct business. Students and staff shall not set up web pages to advertise or sell a service on the School Corporation’s web server.
