An acceptable use policy (AUP) includes practices users must agree to in order to use a network or other resource.

Chromebook use is filtered and monitored both on and off campus or district property, using a district-owned filter and management software. Internet filtering and classroom monitoring software collects information about the sites that students access. If a student attempts to access an inappropriate site, a block screen is generated and the filtering software blocks the viewing of that site. Through this management, technology staff can monitor use and manage application download controls.
After researching various devices, it was determined that a Chromebook would best serve student needs while being the most cost efficient. The Chromebooks the District currently uses have proven to have a long lifespan, while requiring less troubleshooting and maintenance. The Chromebook is a rugged laptop built to withstand everyday school activities.
