7530 - PERSONAL USE OF DISTRICT EQUIPMENT

Board of Education Policy 7510 requires that limits be placed on staff use of District equipment and facilities. The following guidelines describe the nature and extent of such use.

Telephones

District telephones are not to be used for personal calls except for a bona-fide emergency.

Staff members may use the telephones to make brief, local (nontoll) calls provided such calls are made during free time and are not for conducting a private business.

Except in emergencies, local calls should be limited to two (2) or three (3) minutes.

No long-distance calls are to be made without the permission of the principal/supervisor. If such calls are made, time and charges are to be recorded by the caller and submitted together with the payment to the business manager.

COPY MACHINES

District copiers may not be used for nonschool purposes.

With the permission of the principal, a staff member may make multiple copies of one or more documents for a fee of $0.10 per page which includes the cost of paper.

The number of copies is to be recorded and submitted, together with the fee payment, to the principal.

FAX MACHINES

District fax machines may not be used for non-school purposes.

COMPUTERS

District computers and printers may not be used for personal reasons.
