Camp Hill School District's Acceptable Use Policy outlines the acceptable use of all district-managed technology including our hardware devices (computers, SMARTboards, etc.), software (instructional applications, websites, etc.), and the Internet. All students, staff, and families who utilize Camp Hill School District technology must comply with the rules contained in the District's Acceptable Use Policy.
The Board supports use of the Internet and other computer networks in the district’s instructional and operational programs and shall provide access to technology to be used by students and staff for educational-related purposes and for performance of school district job duties.
For educational purposes, the use of network facilities shall be consistent with the curriculum adopted by the school district, as well as the varied instructional needs, learning styles, abilities, and developmental levels of students. The network may not be used for commercial or business purposes (offering of goods or services).
Access to the school district’s Computer Information Systems (CIS) through school resources is a privilege, not a right. These, as well as the user accounts and information, are the property of the school district, which reserves the right to deny access to prevent further unauthorized, inappropriate or illegal activity, and may revoke those privileges and/or administer appropriate disciplinary action. The district will cooperate to the extent legally required with the internet service provider, local, state and federal officials in any investigation concerning or related to the misuse of the CIS.
It is often necessary to access user accounts in order to perform routine maintenance and security tasks; system administrators have the right to access, by interception, the stored communication of user accounts for any reason in order to uphold this policy and to maintain the system. Users have no privacy expectation in the contents of their personal files or any of their uses of the district’s CIS. The district reserves the right to monitor, track, log and access CIS use and to monitor and allocate fileserver space.
The district reserves the right to restrict access to any Internet sites or functions it deems inappropriate through established Board policy, or the use of software and/or online server blocking. Specifically, the district operates and enforces a technology protection measure(s) that blocks or filters access to inappropriate matter by minors on its computers used and accessible to adults and students. The technology protection measure shall be enforced during use of computers with Internet access.
The district shall make every effort to ensure that this resource is used responsibly by students and staff. Students and staff are expected to respect all applicable laws, as well as observe and respect district rules.
Administrators, teachers and staff have a professional responsibility to work together to help students develop the intellectual skills necessary to discriminate among information sources, to identify information appropriate to their age and developmental levels, and to evaluate and use the information to meet their educational goals. The building administrator shall have the authority to determine what is inappropriate use.
