The Clover School District recognizes there are many ongoing educational projects on the Internet which may be used to enhance and stimulate learning. While the Internet provides educational information, it also allows access to information, images and discussions that are not appropriate for students. Computers equipped for Internet access are located at each school and are to be used for educational purposes only. School media specialists and teachers are responsible for directly and continuously supervising students who are on the Internet to ensure content of accessed information is appropriate. At the beginning of each school year, the district will notify parents of the kinds of Internet supervision and access available at their child's school. At the elementary grades, all Internet access will be directly controlled by the teacher or lab assistant. In grades six (6) through twelve (12) students will be required to read and sign the acceptable use contract provided by the district. This contract must also be signed by the parent/guardian. Violations of the contract will result in the loss of technology privileges and incur disciplinary action.
