The Board of Education is committed to the optimization of teaching and learning. The Board considers a computer network to be a valuable tool for education and expects computers and computer-related technology to be used in District classrooms as a component of the delivery of instruction.

The Board encourages computer use as an integral part of the curriculum. Through software applications, online databases, bulletin boards and electronic mail, the network will significantly enhance educational experiences and provide statewide, national and global communications and learning opportunities for staff and students.

The Superintendent shall establish rules and regulations governing the use and security of the District=s computer network. Failure to comply with District policy and regulations for use of the network may result in disciplinary action up to and including permanent suspension.
