Internet Access Authorization/Acceptable Use Policy: Students must have a parent/guardian read and agree to the following before being granted unsupervised access: All use of the Internet shall be consistent with the District’s goal of promoting educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication. The failure of any user to follow the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy will result in the loss of privileges, disciplinary action, and/or appropriate legal action. The signatures at the end of this document are legally binding and indicate the parties who signed have read the terms and conditions carefully and understand their significance. I have read this Authorization form. I understand that access is designed for educational purposes and that the District has taken precautions to eliminate controversial material. However, I also recognize it is impossible for the District to restrict access to all controversial and inappropriate materials. I will hold harmless the District, its employees, agents, or Board members, for any harm caused by materials or software obtained via the network. I accept full responsibility for supervision if and when my children's use is not in a school setting. I have discussed the Acceptable Use of Electronic Networks with my child. I hereby request that my child be allowed access to the District’s electronic network, including the internet. Students: I understand and will abide by the above authorization for electronic network access. I understand that the District and/or its agents may access and monitor my use of the internet, including my email and downloaded materials, without prior notice to me. I further understand that should I commit any violation, my access privileges may be revoked, and school disciplinary action and/or legal action may be taken. In consideration for using the District’s electronic network connection and having access to public networks, I hereby release the school district and its board members, employees, and agents from any claims and damage arising from my use of, or inability to use the District’s electronic network, including the internet. *
