The purpose of the Gill-Montague Regional School District use of the Internet is to advance and promote education. It is intended to assist in the collaboration and exchange of information among all who are concerned with education. The use of a district Internet account must support education and research that is consistent with the educational objectives of the Gill-Montague Regional School District. Use of another organization s network or computing resources must comply with the rules appropriate for that network. The use of the Internet is a privilege and not a right.
Users are responsible for what they say and do on the network.
Because communication with others is so quick and easy, it is important for users to think before speaking and to show respect for other people and their ideas. Network administrators will make reasonable efforts to maintain reliable service and user privacy, but they cannot absolutely guarantee that the system will always be available or that files will always be saved, or privacy guaranteed. The unlawful or unethical use of the Internet may result in a revocation of user privileges as well as other disciplinary action. Guidelines for making these determinations and administering this policy will be developed by the Director of Technology in conjunction with the Administrative Team. We are pleased to announce the availability of Internet access in the Gill-Montague Regional School District.
