6470 -- Personnel
SUBJECT: STAFF USE OF
COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION RESOURCES
The Board of Education recognizes the
importance of allowing staff to make use of the District's computer system
(DCS) for educational and work related purposes. Said access includes
software, hardware, computer networks and electronic communication systems.
All use of the DCS, including independent use off school premises,
shall be subject to this policy and accompanying regulations. Generally, the
same standards of acceptable staff conduct which apply to any aspect of job
performance shall apply to use of the DCS. Employees are expected to
communicate in a professional manner consistent with applicable District
policies and regulations governing the behavior of school staff.
Staff use of the DCS is conditioned upon
written agreement by the staff member that use of the DCS will conform to
the requirements of this policy and any regulations adopted to ensure
acceptable use of the DCS. All such agreements shall be kept on file in the
Information Management Services Office.
This policy does not attempt to articulate
all required and/or acceptable uses of the DCS; nor is it the intention of
this policy to define all inappropriate usage.
Administrative regulations will further define general guidelines of
appropriate staff conduct and use as well as prescribed behavior.
District staff shall also adhere to the
laws, policies and rules governing computers including, but not limited to,
copyright laws, rights of software publishers, license agreements, and
rights of privacy created by federal and state law. Staff should
NOT expect that information
stored on the DCS will be private, however confidential records shall be
safeguarded and accessed upon request of the Office of the Superintendent.
