The Internet is an electronic highway connecting thousands of computers all over the world and millions of individual subscribers. Access to the Internet provides students, teachers, and other employees with access to electronic mail, information and news services, public domain software of all types, discussion groups and a multitude of subjects and connections to libraries, companies, agencies and businesses. The Internet offers vast, diverse and unique resources to both resources. However, the global network also provides access to controversial materials and materials which lacks educational value. Given the global nature of the Internet, it is impossible for MCS to restrict knowledgeable users from accessing controversial materials.
School principals are responsible for monitoring student access to the Internet.
Each school principal shall provide a consent and waiver form for signature by students and their parents or legal guardian. School principals have the authority to terminate individual students access to technology if the student graduates, transfers from the school, drops out of school or violated the Acceptable Use Guidelines. Any questions regarding the MCS's use of technology should be directed to the school principal or the County Technology Coordinator. Constitution, Article XII, Section 2 W.Va.
