It recognizes that computer, computer networks, and databases are resources for educational and training opportunities for all citizens. Its primary mission being the education of youth, students (and staff involved in local educational purposes) will be given priority use of all computer equipment in the buildings and software program access. 

All who access the Internet through the Options School’s system are responsible for appropriate behavior on computer networks.
