INTERNET ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The purpose of the School District’s decision to provide Internet
access is to allow an expanded opportunity for research and education by
providing access to unique resources and the opportunity for collaborative
work. All use of the Internet must be in support of education and research
and consistent with the educational objectives of the School District. Use
of other organizations’ network or computing resources must comply with the
rules appropriate for that network. Transmission of any material in
violation of any nation or state laws or regulations is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to, copyrighted material, threatening or
obscene materials, or material protected by trade secret. The use of the
Internet is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in
cancellation of Internet privileges. All students must abide by the
generally accepted rules of network-etiquette privileges.
Students will be allowed to access the Internet only through their
teachers. No students may access the Internet without permission.
Students’ use must be supervised at all times by a staff members.
1. Be polite. Do not be abusive in messages to others. Always use
appropriate language. Profanity, vulgarities, or other inappropriate
language IS prohibited. Illegal activities are strictly forbidden.
2. Never reveal the personal address or phone number of yourself or others.
3. Note that electronic mail is not guaranteed to be private. People who
operate the system have access to all mail. Messages relating to or in
support of illegal or inappropriate activities will be reported to the
appropriate authorities.
4. Do not disrupt, harass, or annoy other users.
5. All communications and information accessible via the network should be
assumed to be private property. Always cite all quotes, references, and
sources.
6. Never access inappropriate or restricted information, such as
pornography or other obscene materials, or other information not directly
related to the educational purposes for which access is being provided.
Restricted information includes obscene, libelous, indecent, vulgar,
profane, or lewd materials, advertisements for products or services not
permitted to minors by law, insulting, fighting, and harassing words, and
other materials that may cause a substantial disruption of the academic
environment.
7. Vandalism also is prohibited and will result in cancellation of
privileges. Vandalism includes
any malicious attempt to harm or destroy data of another user, and includes,
but is not limited to, the uploading or creation of computer viruses.
8. All uses should remain on the system only as long as necessary to
complete their work, so that
other individuals will have equal opportunities to access the Internet.
9. Do not use the system for financial or commercial gain.
10. Always follow the instructions of the supervising staff members.
Penalties For Improper Use
Students who violate the terms of this Administrative Rule or who
otherwise misuse their access to the Internet also will be subject to
disciplinary action in accordance with the District’s Student Behavior
Code. Internet access privileges also may be canceled for up to one year.
Violations of the laws of the United States or the State of South Carolina
also may subject the user to criminal prosecution. If a user incurs
unauthorized costs, the user, as well as the user’s parents if the user is a
student, will be responsible for all such costs.
