Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
5.1. The acceptable and appropriate use of
				telecommunications and/or access to the Internet and digital resources is an
				extension of the educator's responsibility in his/her classroom. Educators
				occupy a position of trust and stand in the place of a parent or guardian while
				a student is in school, W. Va. Code § 18A-5-1(a). Therefore, it is the
				educator's responsibility to ensure classroom activities focus on appropriate
				and specific learning goals and objectives for personalized learning when using
				Internet-related technologies. Student use of Internet-related or web-based
				applications must be authorized by the educator and parent or guardian through
				a district determined procedure. It is also the educator's responsibility to
				refrain from using electronic technologies in a manner that risks placing
				him/her in a position to abuse that trust. Even though "educators" are the ones
				who come in daily classroom contact with students, acceptable/appropriate uses
				of online resources, technologies and the Internet is a responsibility of all
				educational staff and employees.
5.2. The following statements delineate the
				responsibilities of the WVBE, WVDE, districts, individual schools, educators
				and other educational/service personnel for the appropriate and authorized use
				of technologies, digital resources and the Internet.
5.3. WVBE responsibilities, based on
				authority of W. Va. Code, will include approving policies advocating the
				following activities:
5.3.a. Students will be
				provided equitable access to technology.
5.3.b. Students will graduate from the public
				schools with proficiency in the skills and standards delineated in
				instructional policies.
5.3.c.
				Policy 2520.14 content standards will be included as part of the instructional
				goals of all programs of study and at all grade levels, K-12.
5.3.d. The WVBE will collaborate with the
				higher education community to communicate complementary technology utilization
				initiatives and partnerships and readiness of student teachers in understanding
				the professional role of the educator and the position of trust.
5.3.e. Administrators and teachers will be
				provided professional development in the use and application of electronic
				resources, technologies and the Internet.

6.1. Overview of

				unsafe use of the Internet as part of an educational program by students,
				educators or staff may result in suspension or revocation of use access
				privileges.
6.1.b. Each student
				accessing the Internet will be provided acceptable use training and shall have
				an acceptable use form, signed by a parent or legal guardian, on file at the
				district/school.
6.1.c. The WVDE
				provides the network system, e-mail accounts, and Internet access as tools for
				education and administration in support of the WVBE's mission. Users have no
				expectation of privacy. The WVDE reserves the right to monitor, inspect,
				investigate, copy, review and store, without prior notice, information about
				the content and usage of any and all information transmitted or received in
				connection with networks, e-mail use, and web-based tools.
6.1.d. No student or staff user should have
				any expectation of privacy when using the district's network or equipment. The
				WVDE reserves the right to disclose any electronic message, files, media, and
				other information to law enforcement officials or third parties as
				appropriate.
6.1.e. No temporary
				accounts will be issued, nor will student or staff use an Internet account not
				specifically created for him or her. Based upon the acceptable use and safety
				guidelines outlined in this document, the WVDE, State Superintendent of
				Schools, and WVDE system administrators will determine what is appropriate use
				, and their decision is final.
6.1.f. Violation of use policies could result
				in loss of access, personal payment of fees incurred, employment discipline,
				licensure revocation and/or prosecution. Other consequences for students may be
				found in Policy 4373.
6.1.g.
				Administrative information systems, including WVEIS, are to be used exclusively
				for educational purposes. Ownership of student, personnel, and financial
				records remains with the agency with primary responsibility for maintenance of
				the information. WVDE reserves the right to access data maintained in or
				transmitted over state supported information systems and disclose it as
				appropriate for legitimate purposes. All staff must maintain the
				confidentiality of student data in accordance with FERPA and Policy
				4350.
6.1.h.Employees may not
				attempt to gain access to another employee's files in the WVDE's information
				systems. The WVDE reserves the right to enter an employee's information system
				files whenever there is a legitimate need to do so.
6.1.i. These guidelines may be superseded by
				FERPA and other appropriate federal and state laws to the extent that such laws
				are more restrictive.
West Virginia Code of State Rules › Agency 126 - Education › Title 126 - LEGISLATIVE RULE BOARD OF EDUCATION › Series 126-041 - Safe and Acceptable Use of the Internet by Students and Educators (Policy 2460) › Section 126-41-7 - Network

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
7.1. The statewide
				network, the district wide area networks (WANs), and school local area networks
				(LANs) include wired and wireless computers, peripheral equipment, routers,
				switches, servers, files, storage devices, e-mail, Internet content, digital
				tools, and any other equipment which communicates via network
				connections.
7.2. The WVDE reserves
				the right to prioritize the use of and access to the statewide network.
				Districts may also prioritize local traffic within WANs and LANs consistent
				with WVDE guidelines.
7.3. All use
				of the network must support instructional and administrative purposes and be
				consistent with WVBE policies, WVDE guidelines, E-rate regulations, and federal
				and state statutes.
7.4. WVDE,
				approved service providers, and other state agencies operate the statewide
				infrastructure to provide Internet access for all schools under the supervision
				of the WVBE. In accordance with state purchasing guidelines, filtering will be
				installed at the state network level at the two points of presence (POPs) for
				Internet access. This will provide filtering for all public schools in a cost
				effective manner and with efficient management. Providing this service at the
				state level enables districts to meet CIPA and E-rate guideline requirements
				for filtering.
7.5. The district
				and/or schools may also add additional electronic filters at the local network
				levels. Other objectionable material may be filtered. The determination of what
				constitutes "other objectionable" material is a local decision.
7.6. Schools must enforce the use of the
				filtering or electronic technical protection measures during any use of the
				network and computers/devices to access the Internet.
7.7. To avoid duplication of effort at the
				district/school levels, the WVDE will provide a method and instructional
				modules that allow districts/schools to certify compliance with the current FCC
				regulations regarding Internet safety policies.

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
8.1. Appropriate
				filtering must be maintained to meet E-rate guidelines. Because filtering
				software is not 100% effective, every user must take responsibility for his or
				her use of the network and Internet and avoid objectionable sites.
8.2. Any attempts to defeat or bypass the
				state's Internet filter or conceal Internet activity are prohibited. This
				includes, but is not limited to, proxies, https, special ports, modifications
				to browser settings, and any other techniques designed to evade filtering or
				enable inappropriate content.
8.3.
				E-mail inconsistent with the educational missions of the state, district, or
				school will be considered SPAM and blocked from entering e-mail
				boxes.
8.4. Appropriate adult
				supervision of Internet use must be provided. The first line of defense in
				controlling access by students to inappropriate material on the Internet is
				deliberate and consistent monitoring of student access and use of
				equipment.
8.5. Staff must make a
				reasonable effort to become familiar with the Internet and to monitor,
				instruct, and assist effectively in filtering and acceptable use
				issues.
