Board Policy: Code: 4.5061

In order to take advantage of the opportunities the Internet provides, the Board authorizes the creation of school and/or district web pages on the Internet. Only those web pages maintained in accordance with Board policy and established procedures shall be recognized as official representations of the district or individual schools. All information on a school or district web page must accurately reflect the mission, goals, policies, program and activities of the school and district. The web page must have a purpose, which falls within at least one of three categories:

Support of curriculum and instruction — intended to provide links to Internet resources for students, parents, and staff in the district:
Public information — intended to communicate information about the schools and district to students, staff, parents, community and the world at large.
District technology support — intended to provide and respond to instructional and administrative technology needs of students and staff.

The director of schools shall develop administrative procedures for development of web pages including content, quality and consistency standards and shall designate an individual(s) to be responsible for maintaining the official district web page and monitoring all district web page activity. A building principal shall make such designation for an individual school. Schools or departments who wish to publish a web page must identify the webmaster’s name and e-mail address on the web page. As with any instructional materials or publication used by or representing the school or district, the building principal or director of schools, respectively, is ultimately responsible for accuracy and appropriateness of the information made available on the web site. Concern about the content of any page(s) created by students or staff should be directed to the building principal or the director of schools’ office when related to the district web site. If the concern is not resolved, persons who wish to file a formal complaint shall submit a written request for reconsideration of instructional material. Web sites developed under contract for the school district or within the scope of employment by district employees are the property of the school district.
