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 username 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 username and password, or login procedure, is necessary to access a resource, information shall be provided on the website explaining who is eligible for a username and password, how to obtain a username and password, and detailed instructions concerning the login process.

Access to the District Network through Server

Board members, District employees, students, as well as, contractors, vendors and agents of the District are not 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 or facilities) access the District's server and connect to the District's network.

Any exceptions to this policy must be approved in advance, in writing, by the District Administrator.

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