Acceptable Computer System Use Agreement
The School Board provides a computer system, including the internet, to promote
educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation and communication.
The term computer system includes, but is not limited to, hardware, software, data,
communication lines and devices, terminals, printers, CD-ROM devices, tape or flash
drives, servers, mainframe and personal computers, tablets, cellular phones, smart
telephones, the internet and other internal or external networks.
All use of the Division’s computer system must be (1) in support of education
and/or research, or (2) for legitimate school business. Use of the computer system is a
privilege, not a right. Any communication or material generated using the computer
system, including electronic mail, instant or text messages, tweets, or other files deleted
from a user’s account, may be monitored, read, and/or archived by school officials.
The Division Superintendent shall establish administrative procedures, for the
School Board’s approval, containing the appropriate uses, ethics and protocol for the
computer system.
The procedures shall include:
(1) a prohibition against use by Division employees and students of the division’s
computer equipment and communications services for sending, receiving,
viewing or downloading illegal material via the internet;
(2) provisions, including the selection and operation of a technology protection
measure for the division’s computers having Internet access to filter or block
Internet access through such computers, that seek to prevent access to:
(a) child pornography as set out in Va. Code § 18.2-374.1:1 or as defined in 18
U.S.C.
§ 2256;
(b) obscenity as defined by Va. Code § 18.2-372 or 18 U.S.C. § 1460; and
(c) material that the school division deems to be harmful to juveniles as defined
in Va. Code § 18.2-390, material that is harmful to minors as defined in 47
U.S.C.
§ 254(h)(7)(G), and material that is otherwise inappropriate for minors;
(3) provisions establishing that the technology protection measure is enforced during
any use of the Division’s computers;
(4) provisions establishing that all usage of the computer system may be monitored;
(5) provisions designed to educate students and employees about appropriate online
behavior, including interacting with students and other individuals on social
networking websites, blogs, in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and
response;
(6) provisions designed to prevent unauthorized online access by minors, including
“hacking” and other unlawful online activities.;
(7) provisions prohibiting the unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of
photographs and/or personal information of or regarding minors; and
(8) a component of internet safety for students that is integrated in the Division’s
instructional program.
Use of the School Division’s computer system shall be consistent with the
educational or instructional mission or administrative function of the Division as well as
the varied instructional needs, learning styles, abilities and developmental levels of
students.
The Division’s computer system is not a public forum.
Each teacher, administrator, student and parent/guardian of each student shall
sign the Acceptable Computer System Use Agreement, IIBEA-F1/GAB-F1, before using
the Division’s computer system. The failure of any student, teacher or administrator to
follow the terms of the Agreement, this policy or accompanying regulation may result in
loss of computer system privileges, disciplinary action, and/or appropriate legal action.
The School Board is not responsible for any information that may be lost,
damaged or unavailable when using the computer system or for any information
retrieved via the Internet. Furthermore, the School Board will not be responsible for any
unauthorized charges or fees resulting from access to the computer system.
The School Board will review, amend if necessary, and approve this policy every
two years.
