The following guidelines will govern the personal use of the Corporation's technology by staff members as well as use for school purposes by either staff or students while at home.
Prior to making a copy of any Corporation software, a staff member or student should contact Technology Resources to find out whether or not there is any licensing agreement associated with that software, and if so, whether the license allows the staff member or student to load the material on his/her home computer. If the license does not allow this, then no copy is to be made.
All student use of the Internet must be under the supervision of a staff member.
Neither staff members nor students are to use the Internet for discriminatory, or unlawful purposes but only for purposes.
The Corporation has implemented technology protection measures which block/filter Internet access to visual displays that are obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors. The Corporation may also monitor online activity of staff members in an effort to restrict access to child pornography and other material that is obscene, objectionable, inappropriate, and/or harmful to minors. The Superintendent or appropriate administrator may approve disabling the technology protection measure to enable access for bona fide research or other lawful purposes.
Staff members accessing the Internet through the Corporation's computers/network assume personal responsibility and liability, both civil and criminal, for unauthorized or inappropriate use of the Internet.
The Corporation reserves the right to monitor, review, and inspect any directories, files, and/or messages residing on or sent using the Corporation's computers/networks. Messages relating to or in support of illegal activities will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Each staff member will be provided a password for use with Corporation technology with the provision that the password is not to be shared with others. The existence of a password does not guarantee confidentiality or privacy and the Corporation retains the right to monitor the use of Corporation technology.
