Why Does Technology Services Have These Guidelines?
As a department, Technology Services has the responsibility to secure a digital environment where students and staff are safe. Some of these requirements come from the federal government (such as FERPA, COPPA, and CIPA), and other requirements are part of Chatham County School Board's Policies. Additional information on these policies can be found at https://boardpolicyonline.com/bl/?b=chatham_nc.
Suggested Reading:
“All students and employees must be informed annually of the requirements of this policy and the methods by which they may obtain a copy of this policy. Before using school system technological resources, students and employees must sign a statement indicating that they understand and will strictly comply with these requirements and acknowledging awareness that the school system uses monitoring systems to monitor and detect inappropriate use of technological resources. Failure to adhere to these requirements will result in disciplinary action, including revocation of user privileges. Willful misuse may result in disciplinary action and/or criminal prosecution under applicable state and federal law.”
