There may be some material or individual communications which are not suitable for school-aged children. The St. Johns County School District views information gathered from the Internet in the same manner as reference materials identified by the schools. Specifically, the district supports resources that will enhance the learning environment with directed guidance from the faculty and staff. Exploration and manipulation of resources is encouraged. However, it is impossible to control all materials on a global network and an industrious user may discover inappropriate information.
Direct supervision is required.
The School District, however, cannot prevent the possibility that some users may access material that is not consistent with the educational mission, goals and policies of the school district, since Internet access may be obtained outside of the school setting. Guidelines Internet access is coordinated through a complex association of government agencies and regional networks. The operation of the Internet relies heavily on the proper conduct of the users, who must adhere to strict guidelines. Internet access is a privilege, not a right. Some violations may also constitute a criminal offense and may result in legal action.
