Acceptable Use Policy
It is the intent of Bamberg County Schools to make on-line resources available to students and staff in order to promote personal growth in information gathering techniques, critical thinking skills, and communication skills. These sources exist in a fluid environment. Information is constantly changing. Therefore the availability of on-line resources does not indicate endorsement of their contents by school officials.

The networking environment requires that school officials define guidelines for student explorations and use of electronic information resources. Such guidelines should address issues of privacy, ethical use of information with a respect for intellectual property, using the networks for illegal activities, or knowingly spreading embedded messages or other computer programs that have the potential of damaging or destroying programs or data.

Individual sites will create guidelines and procedures that are appropriate for the electronic information resources being used and the students being served at the site. Such guidelines should have as the underlying core component the overall district policy and guidelines, while providing the expectation of appropriate and responsible behavior and a model for that behavior.

With that in mind, we must work together to help students develop the intellectual skills needed to discriminate among information sources and to evaluate and use information to meet their educational goals.

USE OF THE INTERNET AND ON-LINE SERVICES PROCEDURES

Belief Statement

On-line resources such as the Internet can be used to educate, to inform, to communicate and to entertain. As a learning resource they are similar to books, magazines, video, CD-ROM, and other information sources. Students and staff have access to other individuals, government documents, social and scientific data, library indexes, and many other types of information.

District Guidelines for Student Use of the Internet

1. Students are to receive instruction in the proper use of the Internet through a review of Student Expectations for use of the Internet.
2. Students are required to sign a contract indicating their understanding and acceptance of the district's guidelines. They may then use the Internet in a supervised classroom environment.
3. Parents must give their permission for their child to use the Internet independently for educational purposes as an individual by signing the "Application for Account and Terms and Conditions for Use of the Internet". Parents also have the option of denying permission for their child to use the Internet.
4. Students are responsible for their explorations of the Internet and subject to the consequences of the building discipline policy.

Student Expectations in Use of the Internet

1. Be courteous and respectful in your messages to others.
2. Use appropriate language. Do not swear, use vulgarities or any other inappropriate language. Illegal activities are strictly forbidden.
3. Do not reveal your home address or phone numbers, or those of other students or colleagues. Use school addresses and phone numbers only... even if you think you "know" your correspondent.
4. Note that electronic mail (e-mail) is not guaranteed to be private. People who operate the system do have access to all mail. Messages relating to or in support of illegal activities may be reported to the authorities.
5. Always try to do your best writing, and proofread and edit your messages.
6. Only public domain software can be downloaded.
7. Do not post personal messages on bulletin-boards or "list serves". Send personal messages directly to the person to whom you want to write.
8. Do not use the network in such a way that you would disrupt the use of the network by other users.
9. All communications and information accessible via the network should be assumed to be private property.
