Access to the Internet and the Allen Parish Network is not a right, but a privilege. The Allen Parish Network is provided for students and teachers to conduct research and communicate with others. Independent access to network services is provided to those who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner. Students are responsible for good behavior on school computer networks just as they are in a classroom or a school hallway. Any user violating the rules stated in the Internet and Network Agreement or any applicable state or federal laws is subject to loss of Network privileges and any other Allen Parish Disciplinary options. School and parish administrators will make the final determination as to what constitutes unacceptable use and their decision will be final.
