Students will have access to the Internet through individual student or classroom accounts and/or electronic mail addresses issued to them. Internet use will be monitored by instructional staff.
Making Internet access available to students carries with it the potential that some students may encounter information that may not be appropriate for them. The Internet is not only an open system, but one in continual flux--with information appearing, disappearing, and changing quite rapidly. Thus, it is not possible to fully predict or control what students may locate. Though supervising instructors will guide students in their use of the Internet, and attempt to restrict their access to inappropriate materials, the Board cannot guarantee that students will not encounter such materials.
If, in using the Internet, a student gains access to any service via the Internet which has a cost involved, he or she will be responsible for any costs incurred.
