The Board is committed to the effective use of technology to both enhance the quality of student learning and the efficiency of Board operations. It also recognizes that safeguards have to be established to ensure that the Board's investment in both hardware and software is achieving the benefits of technology and inhibiting negative side effects.

By use of the Network/Internet, users acknowledge and agree that they have no right or expectation of privacy in and to documents, data, files, or other information of whatever nature created by them during the course of such use. The Board and Superintendent shall have the unrestricted right to seize such equipment and inspect and copy any and all such documents or information at any time without notice to user.

The Superintendent is directed to establish administrative procedures not only for proper acquisition of technology but also to provide guidance to staff and students concerning making appropriate and ethical use of the computers and other equipment as well as any networks that may be established.

The Superintendent shall establish appropriate procedures to inform staff and students about disciplinary actions that will be taken if Board technology and/or networks are abused in any way or used in an illegal or unethical manner.

The use of these technology resources is a privilege, not a right.
