Network accounts will be used only by the authorized owner of the account for its authorized purpose. All communications and information accessible via the network should be assumed to be private property and shall not be disclosed. Network users shall respect the privacy of other users on the system. System users have a limited privacy expectation in the contents of their personal files on the district system. Routine maintenance and monitoring of the system, including e-mail communications to and from the district, may lead to discovery that the user has or is violating the district acceptable use policy, the discipline policy, or the law.
System security is protected through the use of passwords.
Failure to adequately protect or update passwords could result in unauthorized access to personal or district files. No user will connect or disconnect any device from any district or network system without prior approval from the data processing manager or computer coordinator. On a temporary basis, not to exceed one school year, staff members may bring to school and use computer hardware or software not purchased by the school district provided that such hardware does not require installation by or support from district technology personnel. Any personal equipment remaining beyond one school year will be considered a donation to the school district. Any software not purchased by the school district must be validly licensed to the user.
