Access to the District’s electronic communication and data management systems, including without limit, its telephone system, computer networks, electronic mail systems, video conferencing systems, and its Internet and intranet access capabilities (referred to throughout as the “System”), shall be made available to students for identified educational or medical purposes only.

Access to the System is a privilege, not a right. All users shall be required to acknowledge receipt and understanding of all administrative regulations governing use of the system and shall agree in writing to comply with such regulations and guidelines. Noncompliance with applicable regulations may result in suspension or termination of privileges and other disciplinary action consistent with Board Policies. Violations of law may result in prosecution as well as disciplinary action by the District.

System users may not gain unauthorized access to resources or information. Attempts to read, delete, copy, or modify the electronic mail of other System users, interference with the ability of other System users to send/receive electronic mail, or the use of another person’s user ID and/or password is prohibited. Users must closely monitor their System passwords. Users should protect their password(s) to help ensure the security and integrity of the System. In order to maintain the integrity of the System, users should not disclose their passwords to any other person. No user should attempt to gain access to another user’s electronic mailbox, telephone voicemail box, computer files, or Internet account. Unauthorized access or attempts to access the System are strictly prohibited and will result in appropriate disciplinary action.

The loading of software to the System, including but not limited to, District managed hardware is considered a violation of the Student AUP.

Any attempt to harm or destroy the System, District equipment or data, the data of another user of the District’s System, or the data of any of the agencies or other networks that are connected to the Internet, are prohibited. Violating the integrity of the District’s System and/or data files or manipulating the District’s System and/or data files without proper authorization is prohibited.

Students are prohibited from bypassing the District filters and security protocols. Attempts to degrade or disrupt system performance are violations of Board Policy, the Student Code of Conduct, and the Student AUP and may constitute unlawful activity under applicable State and Federal laws. Such prohibited activity includes, but is not limited to, the uploading or creating of computer viruses and “hacking” into the data or system of another user of the District’s System, or any of the agencies or other networks that are connected to the Internet.

System users may not redistribute copyrighted programs or data except with the written permission of the copyright holder or designee, unless permitted by the doctrine of fair use.

The District reserves the right to use the District’s System for purposes it sees fit and reserves the right to monitor all activity on the System, including individual student user accounts.
