RESPONSIBLE USE PROCEDURES 2022-23

Greenville County Schools encourage students to use a variety of technologies to enhance their learning. To ensure the privacy and safety of our students, and to protect data and our resources, we ask parents and students to become familiar with policy and regulations that have been established for technology use in the district. The district's Acceptable Use Policy is available at http://www.boarddocs.com/sc/greenville/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=876KM679D71F (search for Board Policy and Administrative Rule "EFE").

Misuse of Chromebooks has the potential to earn disciplinary consequences such as, but not limited to, lunch detentions, after-school detentions, In-School Suspensions, and Out-of-School Suspensions, as well as loss of Chromebook privileges.
