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

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

The Superintendent shall also ensure that both staff and students are adequately informed about disciplinary actions that will be taken if District technology and/or networks are abused in any way or used in an illegal or unethical manner.
