Staff members’ use of the Internet and electronic communications is a privilege, not a right. Failure to follow the use procedures contained in this policy shall result in the loss of the privilege to use these tools and restitution for costs associated with damages, and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from employment and/or legal action. The school district may deny, revoke or suspend access to district technology or close accounts due to violations of this policy. Staff members shall be required to electronically sign and agree to this policy annually before Internet or electronic communications accounts shall be issued or access shall be allowed.
