PERSONNEL
TECHNOLOGY AND ON-LINE RESOURCES - APPROPRIATE USE</p>
<p>Technology is a vital part of the school district curriculum. The Internet will be made available to employees. Appropriate and equitable use of the Internet will allow employees to access resources unavailable through traditional means, to engage in research, and to communicate with others. To ensure the smooth operation of the school's computer network and to protect the best interests of the district, these guidelines have been developed to clarify the appropriate, ethical, and legal use of this technology.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Employees will be able to access the Internet through the school's network. Individual accounts and electronic mail addresses will be issued to employees. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Internet can provide a vast collection of educational resources for employees. It is a global network, which makes it impossible to control all available information. Because information appears, disappears and changes constantly, it is not possible to predict or control what employees may locate. The school district makes no guarantees as to the accuracy of information received on the Internet. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Employees should understand that use of technology is not private and usage may be monitored and reviewed by school officials. Employee account passwords should be kept private and appropriate precautions should be taken to prevent others from acquiring them. Any inappropriate activity is the responsibility of the account holder. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Employees will sign a form acknowledging they have read and understand the Technology and On-Line Resources - Appropriate Use policy and regulations, that they will comply with the policy and regulations and understand the consequences for violation of the policy or regulations.</p>
