COMPUTER/INTERNET POLICY
Internet and electronic mail (e-mail) access privileges are available as appropriate to students in the Alamance-Burlington School System. To use the Internet and e-mail a student must sign an Acceptable Use Agreement each year (a parent or guardian must also sign if the student is under the age of 18) and return it to school where it is kept on file. Students without a signed form will not be granted access privileges.
Students must use good judgment and follow general school rules for behavior and communications while using the Internet. Access is a privilege - not a right.
Individual users of the district computer networks are responsible for their behavior and communications over those networks. It is understood that users will follow district standards and honor the agreements they have signed.
Network storage areas may be treated like school lockers. Network administrators may review files and communications to check system integrity and be sure that users are using the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on district servers are private.
Individual users of school computers and the Internet are expected to follow the generally accepted rules of network etiquette. The following are not permitted:
· Damaging computers, computer systems, software, computer networks, or data belonging to someone else
· Using another person’s user id and password
· Sending or displaying offensive messages, pictures, or videos
· Using obscene language
· Harassing, insulting or attacking others
· Unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted materials and/or software
· Unauthorized or illegal use of data in folders or work files
· Intentionally wasting limited resources
· Employing the network for commercial purposes
· Revealing the full name, personal address, or telephone number of any student or school staff member
In the event a student engages in any of the above-referenced activities, his/her access privileges may be revoked and other disciplinary and/or legal measures may result.
