Staff Telecommunication Acceptable Use Agreement and Information Release

Staff members will use electronic mail on a daily basis at work as the primary tool for communication. The District may rely on this medium to communicate important information to employees, who are responsible for checking and reading messages daily.

This network is provided for staff and students to conduct research, learn, and communicate with others. All communications transmitted through the District network are not secure; therefore, general rules and standards for professional behavior and communication apply. Files stored on District servers or computers should not be considered private. All staff members are required to comply with the regulations of the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Internet access is filtered and monitored. Information obtained from the private District network, such as PowerSchool, PowerTeacher, Gradebook, and FileMaker Pro, is confidential and should not be disclosed.

The following behaviors are prohibited on District networks:

1. Sending or displaying pornography, offensive messages, or pictures.
2. Assisting in a campaign for the election of any person to any office or promoting or opposing any ballot proposition or personal political agenda.
3. Using obscene language.
4. Harassing, insulting, or attacking others.
5. Engaging in practices that threaten the network (e.g., loading files that may introduce a virus, using online radio stations, or streaming video for entertainment).
6. Violating copyright laws.
7. Using others’ passwords.
8. Trespassing in unauthorized folders, documents, or files.
9. Intentionally wasting limited resources.
10. Using the network for commercial purposes.
11. Promoting, supporting, or celebrating religion or religious institutions.
12. Sending messages (such as chain letters, broadcast messages, or pyramids) that cause network congestion or interfere with others' work.
13. The District recognizes the importance of online social media networks as a communication and e-learning tool.

Employees are responsible for following District Policy 5460 – Employee Use of Social Media and the associated Procedure.

The Network Supervisor will report any inappropriate behaviors to the employee’s supervisor, who will take appropriate disciplinary action. Any other reports of inappropriate behavior, violations, breaches of confidentiality, or complaints will be directed to the employee’s supervisor for appropriate action. Violations may result in a loss of access and/or disciplinary action. In applicable cases, law enforcement agencies may be involved.

Each employee will receive copies of this policy and its procedures and will sign this agreement at the beginning of their employment with the District or when this document is modified.
