Students utilizing District-provided Internet access must first have the permission of and must be supervised by the North Knox professional staff. The same general rules for behavior and communication apply. The purpose of District-provided Internet access is to facilitate communication in support of research and education. To remain eligible as users, students' use must be in support of and consistent with the educational objectives of the North Knox School District. Access is a privilege, not a right.
Access entails responsibility.
Users should not expect that files stored on the school-based computers will always be private. Electronic messages and files stored on school-based computers may be treated like school lockers. Administrators and faculty may review files and messages to maintain system integrity and insure that users are acting responsibly. Any violation of District policy and rules may result in loss of District-provided access to the Internet. Additional disciplinary action may be determined at the building level in keeping with existing procedures and practices regarding inappropriate language and behavior.
