BACK TO SCHOOL

The Administration and Faculty of Brashear High School would like to welcome all students to the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year. The primary purpose and function of our school system is to provide its students with the best education possible. It is our hope that you will take advantage of all the opportunities available and gain all you possibly can from your high school education.

A WORD TO PARENTS

Our school system will function best when you, as parents, cooperate with the faculty by doing the following:

1. See that your child attends school regularly and has sufficient time at home for rest and study.

2. Read your child's report card carefully and react to it appropriately.

3. Please read and study the information available concerning the policies of our school and help us in providing a quality education to our students.

DEVELOP POSITIVE REPUTATIONS

The manner in which you conduct yourself both at school and at home and work is a direct influence on the opinion that others develop about you. It is very possible that the individuals that you come in contact with during your high school years could one day play a key role in your future employment opportunities. Different circumstances call for different types of conduct. Therefore, we must develop a sense of doing right by learning "when to do what". People judge you, your parents, your friends, your school, and your home by your behavior. Every person that you come in contact with is going to form an opinion of you. Why not make it a GOOD ONE!!!

SHOW YOUR SCHOOL SPIRIT

You can develop pride not only in your high school but, more importantly, in yourself by striving to do the following:

1. Help keep the building and grounds clean and attractive.

2. Throw all paper and trash in appropriate containers.

3. Do not commit an act that will reflect discredit upon your school.

4. Walk quietly through the halls and do not talk or laugh in a boisterous manner.

5. Be present and prepared each day and don’t be tardy.

6. Always be courteous and friendly to teachers and other students in this and other schools.

7. Try to take a special interest in at least one extra-curricular activity.

NHS SELECTION PROCESS

Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student. NHS has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and community. Chapters in more than 20,000 high schools across the nation strive to give practical meaning to the Society's goals of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

According to national rules, selection to NHS is by a majority of a five-member faculty council. These four ideals are considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Honor Society strives to recognize the total student; one who excels in all these areas.

SCHOLARSHIP: - 9.35 cumulative grade point average. (Cannot drop below 9.35 after induction.)

CHARACTER: demonstrates honesty, upholds principles of morality and ethics, complies with school regulations, exemplifies desirable qualities of personality and shows courtesy, concern and respect for others.

LEADERSHIP: holds offices or positions of responsibility, conducts business efficiently and effectively, is reliable and dependable, promotes worthy school and community activities, inspires positive behavior in others and takes a constructive lead in the classroom and other school activities.

SERVICE: volunteers dependable and well-organized assistance, cheerfully renders requested service to the school, works well with others, is willing to take on difficult or inconspicuous responsibilities, participates in extra-curricular activities or community service activities and maintains a loyal school attitude.

Membership, however, is more than an honor. It carries with it more than certain privileges. It incurs a responsibility and an obligation to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that resulted in selection.

VISITORS

Adult visitors are always welcome at any time to visit school. Non-adult visitors must be accompanied by their parent to remain at school. ALL students arriving late or leaving early must check in/out in the HS office. Parents/guardians/visitors are reminded that they are to go to the HS office first to check in and must use the main entrance by the HS office to enter the building after 8:30 a.m. Students must be signed out by their parent or legal guardian before they will be allowed to leave the building.

STUDENT INSURANCE

Student insurance will be offered at the beginning of the school year. Insurance forms shall be returned directly to the company by the parent.

GET A RECEIPT

Any time money is paid to the school secretary for anything a receipt will be given. Parents and students should keep these receipts until the close of school.

PROPER DRESS

Students are expected to dress in proper clothing at all times while in school as well as attending school functions. Halter tops, tank tops with straps less than one inch wide, or T-shirts with obscene or any in-appropriate messages will not be allowed. Clothing with tobacco, alcohol or any in-appropriate drug related messages or logo will not be allowed. Sleeveless T-shirts may be worn but cannot be cut back past the seam of the sleeve. “A” shirts may only be worn for athletic practices or extra-curricular activities outside of school. Shorts and Skirts must be an appropriate length. Any article of clothing deemed distracting by teachers or administration (such as those showing visible undergarments or excessive skin) will not be allowed.

MEDICATION POLICY

ALL students who take ANY KIND of medication (prescription or over-the-counter) must bring that medication to the respective office (elementary or high school) to be placed until such time specified by parent note (if over-the-counter) or doctor's orders (if prescription) to take that medication. The office personnel will then dispense the medicine as directed.

All medication must be in original container and with the original prescription if ordered by a physician. A parent note on exact time of dosage and amount of dosage must accompany an over-the-counter medicine. Asthma inhalers must have the original prescription attached, but allowances will be made for students who must carry them on their person after proper notification is given in the office and recorded.

This policy is required by the Missouri Department of Health. Board policy must also comply with this requirement.

TEXTBOOKS

Textbooks are furnished free to the elementary and secondary students. Notebooks, paper, pencils, and other expendable materials are paid for by the student. (See item number (3) in General Student Information.)

SCHOOL PLANNER

School Planners will be available to all students K-6 and any 7-12 students who wants one at no charge to the student. We feel that the value of the planners as an organizational tool and means of communication between the school and home are well worth the investment. Please see that your children get the maximum benefit from this daily planner.

any field trip at BHS
if BHS is closed due to inclement weather
the last day of class at BHS. Vo-tech students are not required to attend KATC after the last day of school at BHS. .

When KATC does not have class (i.e. Spring Break), Vo-tech students will not be expected to be at BHS until

the beginning of 4^th hour. Students are not to drive to Vo-Tech without prior approval from Administration.

BUS CONDUCT

It is the goal of our school to provide safe transportation for students; therefore, it is necessary for the drivers, students, parents and school personnel to work in harmony to enforce these rules. Conduct of students may be monitored by surveillance cameras. This policy has been approved by the school board.

1. To ensure safety, the driver must be totally in charge of the school bus. Passengers must respond promptly to all instructions given. Example of infraction: Deliberately defiant/refusal to follow instructions given.

6. Vandalism or tampering with bus equipment is prohibited. Example of infraction: broken window, cut seat or seat damage.

DRIVING CARS

Building principals have the authority to regulate student use of automobiles at school. Use of school property for student parking purposes is a privilege that may be denied due to violation of District regulations and school policies. Student vehicles parked on District property are subject to search by school officials where there is reason to believe a vehicle contains materials prohibited by District regulations.

If a student arranges his/her own transportation to and from school, or school-related activities, the school’s supervision of such student will not begin until the school has custody and control over that student (i.e. checked in by a designated representative of the school).

All students going to the area vocational school at Kirksville MUST ride the bus from the Brashear School to Kirksville and back. If a student is required to drive in order to fulfill a Vo-Tech commitment, permission will be provided on a case by case basis. Willful violation of this will result in possible removal from Vo-Tech school.

Students driving cars to school shall park them as soon as they arrive in the designated student parking lot east of the High School building. Students are to leave cars parked until the end of the day. Only with permission will the cars be permitted to leave the parking area before school is dismissed for the day. This permission comes from the Principal's office.

A speed limit of ten (10) miles per hour is established for all motor vehicles operated on the school premises. Drivers of all vehicles are not to pass parked school buses while pupils are being loaded and unloaded. Extreme care is to be exercised by all drivers while operating vehicles on the school premises in order to insure the safety of all children. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a suspension of driving privileges.

CLOSED NOON HOUR

Like many schools in the state with a lunch program, Brashear will have a closed noon hour. This period will be longer than the regular periods to allow ample time to eat in staggered shifts. The students start eating in the cafeteria at 10:55 and by 1:15 over 175 lunches have been served.

We will be offering participation in the breakfast program. Buses will arrive at school early enough so all students will have time for breakfast if they choose to eat. Prices for breakfast will be .85 cents for grades K-6, $1.10 for grades 7-12, and $1.35 for adults.

Lunch accounts are paid by students on Monday morning for the week. Prices for lunch will be $2.60 for grades K-6, $3.00 for grades 7-12, and $4.00 for adults. Students must notify the kitchen if they plan to eat a second meal. Cost of a second meal is $4.00. Parents with questions about the free or reduced breakfast/lunch program should contact the Superintendent's office.

LUNCHROOM RULES

1. Crowding to the front in the lunch line will result in the student being sent to the end of the line.

2. Be quiet. No loud talking, running or shoving.

3. Students sit where there is a seat available.

4. When a 7-12 student finishes lunch he/she will remain seated in the cafeteria.

5. Students who forget their lunch money will be allowed a grace period before an alternative lunch will be provided.

6. A receipt will be given anytime money is collected. Please keep receipts.

FOOD ALLERGIES AND SNACK POLICY

In an effort to be sensitive to students with food allergies, the Brashear School will be continuing our policy on snacks. All snacks that are brought in to share must be store bought prepackaged food items. Homemade food items will not be served. Please avoid items that contain nuts or are manufactured in a facility that processes nuts when possible. Nut allergies are on the rise and many students suffer severe consequences to their exposure. Teachers will alert parents to other specific allergies in their classroom. This rule applies to daily snacks, as well as birthdays and special “party” occasions. We apologize for any inconveniences this will cause our families, however, we feel like it is in the best interest of our students.

Since lunch is eaten in the cafeteria, your child may bring peanut butter, peanuts, or nut products for lunch. We would encourage you to find an alternative food, but understand sometimes that is not possible. The cafeteria will provide a peanut butter alternative for sandwiches. The tables will be cleaned with soap, water and paper towels after each lunch.

CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS MANAGEMENT

Students with contagious illness should not be brought to school. Students should not come to school if during the previous 24 hours they exhibit any of the following symptoms:

· A temperature of 100 degrees or greater

· Vomiting or diarrhea

· An unusual or unexplained rash, unrelenting and itchy

· Persistent cough

· Informed by doctor they are still contagious

Children with chicken pox are to remain home until they are no longer in the contagious stage. They may return to school when all lesions are crusted over.

DUAL ENROLLMENT

Dual Enrollment courses are offered at Brashear High School through Moberly Area Community College. Students may take these courses and receive college credit through MACC as well as high school credit through our school. Courses cost $76.00 per credit hour (or $228.00 per three hour semester class). Students are expected to pay for the classes in full at the time of enrollment. Students will pay for only one semester worth of classes at a time. Instructors and textbooks will be furnished by the district.

This policy and the assessment schedule will be given to each student as well as their parent/guardian at the beginning of each school year. In addition, a copy of this policy and the assessment schedule will be available to the public in the District office during normal business hours.

DISTRIBUTION OF NON-CURRICULAR STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

Students may not distribute unofficial written material, which is obscene, libelous, vulgar/indecent, harassing/demeaning, or which causes a substantial disruption of school. Anyone wishing to distribute written material must first submit for approval a copy of the material to the principal/designee at least three (3) days in advance of desired distribution time with the following information: name and phone number of person submitting request, date and time of intended display, location where material will be displayed, and grade of students to whom the display is intended. Within 48 hours the principal will render a decision on whether the material will be displayed. To receive a copy of the complete document on student publications, inquire in the office of administration during regular school hours.

WEIGHTED GRADE SYSTEM

The primary purpose of the weighted grade system is to assist in calculating class rank based upon courses recognized as college preparatory. Most colleges consider class rank as a critical factor in determining a student’s admission.

The weighted grade system awards more points for difficult academic courses. A 20% exact calculation will be given to the weighted classes.

A = 13.2 B+ = 10.8 C+ = 7.2 D+ = 3.6

A- = 12 B = 9.6 C = 6 D = 2.4

B- = 8.4 C- = 4.8 D- = 1.2

Because the following courses demand a high level of written communication skills, problem solving, and creative thinking abilities, they are considered weighted:

Algebra II Physics Pre-Calculus

Chemistry Advanced Biology Accounting

Sociology Advanced Government

All classes offered for dual enrollment will be weighted. Any classes offered for dual enrollment but not taught for dual enrollment will remain weighted. Dual enrollment classes may include but are not limited to the following:

Exposition College English

American Literature I & II Public Speaking American History I & II

College Algebra Chemistry Western Civilization I & II

College Trigonometry Sociology Advanced Government

Psychology Fine Arts Appreciation Advanced Biology

MoVIP (Missouri Virtual Instruction Program) offers Advanced Placement courses that will be certified by College Board and taught by AP certified teachers. These courses are recognized as allowing students to access higher-level courses and will be accepted as weighted courses. Other MoVIP or approved distance learning courses that have course and content comparable to weighted courses (i.e. Algebra II, Physics, Chemistry, etc) will be considered weighted. The above list is not necessarily all-inclusive as course titles and offerings may vary from year to year. Each year the list of course offerings for weighted and dual enrollment courses will be approved by Board action.

STUDENT A+ ELIGIBILITY

For a student to be eligible for the financial incentives of the program, students must be certified as an A+ student by A+ Coordinator, Mrs. Cheryl Reeves, at BHS. To be certified, an individual must do the following:

Sign an A+ Student contract.
Enter into a written agreement with BHS prior to the last day of the first semester of the senior year.
Attend an A+ designated high school for the three consecutive years prior to graduation.
Maintain a 95% attendance rate.

Homework On Time (HOT) Program

Mission: To develop and foster the responsibility of our students and provide assistance to students who need help completing assignments and learning to manage the work load throughout school.

What: Students completing less than 60% of their assignment will receive a HOT Sheet from their teacher. That assignment is due by 8:15 the next day. If a student fails to complete a HOT Sheet and doesn’t turn it in by 8:15 the next morning, the student will serve a mandatory after-school detention or before school detention the next morning. If the assignment is not done and turned in by 8:15, the student will serve a full day of In School Suspension (after serving detention). Completed Hot Sheet assignments may be awarded partial credit at the teacher discretion as long as the partial credit is not below 65%. If any student shows a pattern of incomplete HOT sheets and is receiving excessive days in ISS, other interventions may include but are not limited to, mentoring, Saturday school, referral to the Juvenile Office, etc.

B-B-BRA-S-S-SHE-E-E-EAR…..BRASHEAR!!

PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY

The Board of Education recognizes the positive effects of parents/families’ involvement in education of their children. The Board is committed to strong parent/family involvement in working collaboratively with district staff as knowledgeable partners in educating district students. In order to implement the Board’s commitment to parent/family involvement in education, the Superintendent will appoint a committee of parents, staff, and community representatives to serve as the district’s Parent Involvement Committee. The Committee’s responsibilities will include recommendations for program development, parent staff training and program evaluation.

LOCKER SEARCH

Student lockers are the property of the school district and remain at all times under the control of the district. The district retains the right to inspect student lockers for any reason at any time without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant. Drug dogs may be used to search lockers, backpacks, purses and cars parked on the school premises.

DETENTION

Detention time will be served one hour after school (3:15-4:15) unless otherwise specified. There will be no talking, sleeping, soda or use of cell phones or other electronic devices. If a student skips detention, they will serve 1 day of ISS.

JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITY PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Students must pass all subjects enrolled and maintain a 4.0 grade point average (on an 11 point scale) the previous quarter in order to participate in co-curricular activities to be district eligible. All students' grades are to be reviewed every 3 weeks (progress report time) to see if they remain district eligible and can participate. Students that receive a failing grade on a progress report will be on probation until he/she submits a grade check showing his/her grade is above a 60% in that course. Students that fall below a 4.0 GPA at the 3-week grade check will be on probation. During probation, students may participate in team activities but if that student's grade does not improve above 4.0 GPA at the second three-week grade check, that student will be district ineligible until the end of the quarter. District ineligible students may be allowed to practice, and sit with the team during activities, but cannot participate in the event. Students that are district ineligible cannot miss school time to attend events.

Students need only to meet state standards (must receive 3.0 units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable credits which may be earned, whichever is greater) the first day of school to participate until the end of the first 3 week period at which time they must be district eligible. A 4.0 may not be attained by rounding a lower number to reach 4.0.

All I.D.E.A. and 504 students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be exempt from the District Extra Curricular Activities Policy but will be held to the State Standards (must earn 3.0 units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable credits which can be earned, whichever is greater, the previous semester.)

STUDENT PHYSICALS

Students must have a physical exam on file before they can participate in extra-curricular activities. If the physical is received after February 1, it is good for the remainder of that school year plus the next whole school year (expiring on the last day of school).

TRI-COUNTY CONFERENCE

This year Brashear will again participate in the Tri-County Conference. Conference sports consist of softball and baseball in the fall. The winter sport is boys and girls basketball. The spring activities are junior high and high school track and academic bowl. Student athletes will be eligible for all-conference recognition in each sport, as voted on by conference coaches.

EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY PLAN

An earthquake strikes without warning; therefore the teacher or person in charge should direct the students to get under their desk or a table and cover their heads. If they can't do this, they should get against a wall away from windows and falling objects. Students should be reminded to stay as calm as possible and listen for instructions.

If the students are in the lunchroom, in special classes like art, remedial, music, library, etc., get under the table. If in the bathroom, get in the doorway. If you are outside, stay in an open area away from the building and power lines. Do not try to come back in the building until you are instructed to do so.

When the earthquake is over, the principal or head teacher will give a signal, a loud blow of a whistle, for evacuation of the building. If for any reason the principal or head teacher, cannot make teachers and pupils receive his evaluation alert, the teacher will have students wait two minutes and proceed on their own. Follow the procedure out of the building as for fire drill -- first making sure that way is safe.

The teacher will see that students will not run aimlessly and blindly out of the building. There is always danger of electrical wires, falling debris, and gas leaks that cause fires.

TEACHERS TAKE ROLL IMMEDIATELY ON REACHING DESIGNATED AREA!

TEACHER ALERT INSTRUCTIONS

In some instances teachers may need to be alerted about an emergency situation or an event taking place. The TEACHER ALERT WILL BE ANNOUNCED OVER THE TELEPHONE INTERCOM system followed by a SHORT-SHORT-LONG-SHORT-SHORT LONG series of bells. All teachers should then check their e-mail section for the alert.

HOTLINE

Your safety at school is a top priority for us. If you are aware of a situation that jeopardizes the safety of anyone at school, immediately notify a member of the school staff or your parent/guardian. If you are uncomfortable bringing this situation to the attention of an adult you know, call the Missouri School Violence Hotline at 866-748-7047. Your call may be anonymous.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES

All students are expected to attend school regularly and to be on time for classes in order to get maximum benefit from the instructional program and to develop habits of punctuality, self-discipline, and responsibility. There is felt to be a direct relationship between poor attendance, class failure, and dropouts. The following are items comprising the attendance policy of the Adair County R-II Schools. Revised by the Adair County R-II School Board on June 19, 2013.

1. Students may miss no more than 7 days or the equivalent of 7 school days to receive any "credit" during a given semester for all classes enrolled. Students may miss no more than 7 periods of any one class to receive "credit" for that class.

2. "Credit" will be defined as 1/2 unit of Carnegie credit per class each semester. Any student exceeding 7 days in a semester will forfeit the 1/2 unit of credit for each class and have placed on their official transcript the letters "NC" (no credit) under the column "semester grade". Also, the "NC" will be footnoted with an explanation of the school's attendance policy and loss of credit.

3. College Visit allowances: Juniors will be allowed 1 college visit and Seniors will be allowed 2 college visits per year that will not count towards their 7 absences. Visits must be arranged through the counselor, be pre-approved, and bring back documentation in order for them not to count towards their 7 days.

4. The only exception to the attendance policy is a doctor, dentist, or orthodontist certified medical excuse, or mandatory courtroom appearance documented by the court or law firm. Excused absences are based on the honesty and integrity of the parents and their doctor.

5. Make-up of missed work, tests, etc.: It is the student's responsibility to obtain all homework and hand it in on time. One day will be allowed for each day missed. For example, if you are sick for 2 days with the flu, you have 2 days to make up the work. Exceptions for late work can be made at the teacher’s discretion. Truants will not be allowed to do make-up work. Students must bring a note from home, for any absence, in order to be given credit for make-up work. Assignments given or tests announced prior to an absence are due upon the students return to school.

6. After the 4^th day of absence in any of the 7 class periods a letter will be sent to the parent or guardian to inform them of the student’s absences. After the 6^th day of a student's absence the parent or guardian will be contacted by phone or letter (if phone contact is not possible). After the 7^th day of absence a certified letter will be sent notifying the parent or guardian of their student’s status. After the 8^th day of absence a certified letter will be sent to the parent or guardian notifying the individual of the Adair County R-II School's attendance policy and their child's status.

7. Student tardiness will be reported and recorded on an hourly basis for each school day. Students who accumulate eight tardies in a semester will receive a detention for the first offense. On the 12th tardy, the student will serve a day of ISS. On the 15th tardy, the student will serve 1-3 days of ISS. On the 16th tardy and over, each tardy will receive 1-3 days of ISS.

8. Any student who exceeds 7 absences for any reason will make up each absence (in excess of 7 absences) minute for minute to receive credit for the semester. The time can be made up before or after school or Saturday school as arranged by the Principal. All make-up hours will be approved on a case by case basis.

The attendance policy is for grades 7-12, but because of the importance of regular attendance it is recommended that all students adhere to the policy. Students grades K-6 who exceed the attendance policy may be referred to the Juvenile authorities.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT

STUDENTS Policy 2670

Corporal punishment should be used only after other methods have failed and when there is reason to believe it will be helpful in maintaining discipline or in the development of the student's character and power of self‑control. All instances of corporal punishment shall be witnessed by at least one other adult member of the school staff and will only be administered by a principal or other District administrator. The use of reasonable force for a District employee to protect persons or property is not abuse within the meaning of Chapter 210, RSMo.

DISCIPLINE

The District has the authority to control student conduct which is prejudicial to good order and discipline in the schools as provided by state law. School officials are authorized to hold students accountable for misconduct in school, on school property, during school-sponsored activities and for conduct away from school or in non-school activities which affect school discipline.

Students forfeit their right to a public school education by engaging in conduct prohibited in Regulation 2610 and related provisions. Disciplinary consequences include, but are not limited to, withdrawal of school privileges (athletics, intramurals, student clubs and activities and school social events); the reassignment of the student to another school; removal for up to ten (10) school days by school principals; extension of suspensions for a total of 180 days by the Superintendent; and longer term suspension and expulsion from school by the Board of Education.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE

Behavioral Expectations

The discipline code set out in this regulation is intended to be illustrative but not an exclusive listing of acts of misconduct and the consequences for each. Misconduct which is not specifically listed in this regulation may be deemed to warrant discipline up to and including expulsion following provision of all due process procedures. In addition, the disciplinary consequence listed for each offense may be increased or decreased by the Administration or the Board of Education due to mitigating or aggravating circumstances. This code includes, but is not necessarily limited to, acts of students on school playgrounds, parking lots, school buses or at a school activity whether on or off school property.

Copies of this regulation as well as the District's corporal punishment policy will be provided to each student at the beginning of each school year. Copies of these documents will also be available for public inspection during normal business hours in the Superintendent's office.

COMPLAINT PROCEDURES

The Every Student Succeeds Act requires the Missouri Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) to adopt procedures for resolving complaints regarding operations of programs authorized under the Act, including Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV (Part A), Title V, Title VI, and Title VII and Title IX, part C.

Who May File a Complaint: Any local education agency (LEA), consortium of LEAs, organization, parent, teacher, or member of the public may file a complaint.

Definition of a Complaint: There are both formal and informal complaint procedures.

A formal complaint must be a written, signed statement that includes:

1. an allegation that a federal statute or regulation applicable to the state educational agency (SEA) or a local education agency (LEA) program has been violated,

2. facts, including documentary evidence that supports the allegation, and

3. the specific requirement, statute, or regulation being violated.

Alternatives for Filing Complaints: It is federal and state intent that complaints are resolved at a level nearest the LEA as possible. As described below, formal complaints filed with the SEA will be forwarded to the appropriate LEA for investigation and resolution. Informal complaints made to the SEA will be subject of an initial investigation by the SEA, but will be forwarded to the LEA if a formal complaint evolves.

Specific guidelines about this complaint procedure can be requested in the superintendent’s office.

TECHNOLOGY USAGE

Internet Usage

Personal Responsibility

Access to electronic research requires students and employees to maintain consistently high levels of personal responsibility. The existing rules found in the District's Behavioral Expectations policy (Board Policy/Regulation 2610) as well as employee handbooks clearly apply to students and employees conducting electronic research or communication.

One fundamental need for acceptable student and employee use of District electronic resources is respect for, and protection of, password/account code security, as well as restricted databases files, and information banks. Personal passwords/account codes may be created to protect students and employees utilizing electronic resources to conduct research or complete work.

These passwords/account codes shall not be shared with others; nor shall students or employees use another party's password except in the authorized maintenance and monitoring of the network. The maintenance of strict control of passwords/account codes protects employees and students from wrongful accusation of misuse of electronic resources or violation of District policy, state or federal law. Students or employees who misuse electronic resources or who violate laws will be disciplined at a level appropriate to the seriousness of the misuse.

Acceptable Use

The use of the District technology and electronic resources is a privilege, which may be revoked at any time. Staff and students are only allowed to conduct electronic network-based activities which are classroom or workplace related. Behaviors which shall result in revocation of access shall include, but will not be limited to: damage to or theft of system hardware or software; alteration of system hardware or software; placement of unlawful information, computer viruses or harmful programs on, or through the computer system; entry into restricted information on systems or network files in violation of password/account code restrictions; violation of other users' rights to privacy; unauthorized disclosure, use or dissemination of personal information regarding minors; using another person's name/password/account to send or receive messages on the network; sending or receiving personal messages on the network; and use of the network for personal gain, commercial purposes, or to engage in political activity.

Students and employees may not claim personal copyright privileges over files, data or materials developed in the scope of their employment, nor may students or employees use copyrighted materials without the permission of the copyright holder. The Internet allows access to a wide variety of media. Even though it is possible to download most of these materials, students and

staff shall not create or maintain archival copies of these materials unless the source indicates that the materials are in the public domain.

Access to electronic mail (E-mail) is a privilege and designed to assist students and employees in the acquisition of knowledge and in efficiently communicating with others. The District E-mail system is designed solely for educational and work related purposes. E-mail files are subject to review by District and school personnel. Chain letters, "chat rooms" or Multiple User Dimensions (MUDs) are not allowed, with the exception of those bulletin boards or "chat" groups that are created by teachers for specific instructional purposes or employees for specific work related communication.

Students or employees who engage in "hacking" are subject to loss of privileges and District discipline, as well as the enforcement of any District policy, state and/or federal laws that may have been violated. Hacking may be described as the unauthorized review, duplication, dissemination, removal, damage, or alteration of files, passwords, computer systems, or programs, or other property of the District, a business, or any other governmental agency obtained through unauthorized means.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, students and employees are not permitted to obtain, download, view or otherwise gain access to "inappropriate matter" which includes materials that may be deemed inappropriate to minors, unlawful, abusive, obscene, pornographic, descriptive of destructive devices, or otherwise objectionable under current District policy or legal definitions. Similarly, the use of any District computer to access sites which allow the user to conceal their objective of accessing inappropriate material is not permitted. The District and school administration reserve the right to remove files, limit or deny access, and refer staff or students violating the Board policy to appropriate authorities or for other disciplinary action.

Internet Access

In compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (“CIPA”), 47 U.S.C. § 254, the District uses technological devices designed to filter and block the use of any District computer with Internet access to retrieve or transmit any visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography, or “harmful to minors” as defined by CIPA and material which is otherwise inappropriate for District students.

Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, sometimes Internet websites and web material that do not fall into these categories are blocked by the filter. In the event that a District student or employee feels that a website or web content has been improperly blocked by the District’s filter and this website or web content is appropriate for access by District students, the process described below should be followed:

1. Follow the process prompted by the District’s filtering software (or to remain anonymous, log in under log in name: 123anonymous) and submit an electronic request for access to a website, or:

2. Submit a request, whether anonymous or otherwise, to the District’s Superintendent/the Superintendent’s designee.

3. Requests for access shall be granted or denied within three days. If a request was submitted anonymously, persons should either attempt to access the website requested after three days or log back in at 123anonymous to see the status of the request.

4. Appeal of the decision to grant or deny access to a website may be made in writing to the Board of Education. Persons who wish to remain anonymous may mail an anonymous request for review to the Board of Education at the School District’s Central Office, stating the website that they would like to access and providing any additional detail the person wishes to disclose.

5. In case of an appeal, the Board of Education will review the contested material and make a determination.

6. Material subject to the complaint will not be unblocked pending this review process.

In the event that a District student or employee feels that a website or web content that is available to District students through District Internet access is obscene, child pornography, or “harmful to minors” as defined by CIPA or material which is otherwise inappropriate for District students, the process described set forth in Regulation 6241 should be followed.

Adult users of a District computer with Internet access may request that the “technology protection measures” be temporarily disabled by the chief building administrator of the building in which the computer is located for lawful purposes not otherwise inconsistent with this Policy.

Privileges

The use of District technology and electronic resources is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in the cancellation of those privileges. All staff members and students who receive a password/account code will participate in an orientation or training course regarding proper behavior and use of the network. The password/account code may be suspended or closed upon the finding of user misuse of the technology system or its resources.

Network Etiquette and Privacy

Students and employees are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of electronic network etiquette. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. System users are expected to be polite. They may not send abusive, insulting, harassing, or threatening messages to others.

2. System users are expected to use appropriate language; language that uses vulgarities or obscenities, libels others, or uses other inappropriate references is prohibited.

3. System users may not reveal their personal addresses, their telephone numbers or the addresses or telephone numbers of students, employees, or other individuals during E-mail transmissions.

4. System users may not use the District's electronic network in such a manner that would damage, disrupt, or prohibit the use of the network by other users.

5. System users should assume that all communications and information is public when transmitted via the network and may be viewed by other users. The system administrators may access and read E-mail on a random basis.

6. Use of the District's electronic network for unlawful purposes will not be tolerated and is prohibited.

Services

While the District is providing access to electronic resources, it makes no warranties, whether expressed or implied, for these services. The District may not be held responsible for any damages including loss of data as a result of delays, non-delivery or service interruptions caused by the information system or the user's errors or omissions. The use or distribution of any information that is obtained through the information system is at the user's own risk. The District specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy of information obtained through Internet services.

Security

The Board recognizes that security on the District's electronic network is an extremely high priority. Security poses challenges for collective and individual users. Any intrusion into secure areas by those not permitted such privileges creates a risk for all users of the information system.

The account codes/passwords provided to each user are intended for the exclusive use of that person. Any problems, which arise from the user sharing his/her account code/password, are the responsibility of the account holder. Any misuse may result in the suspension or revocation of account privileges. The use of an account by someone other than the registered holder will be grounds for loss of access privileges to the information system.

Users are required to report immediately any abnormality in the system as soon as they observe it. Abnormalities should be reported to the classroom teacher or system administrator.

The District shall use filtering, blocking or other technology to protect students and staff from accessing internet sites that contain visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography or harmful to minors. The District shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), and the Neighborhood Internet Protection Act (NCIPA).

Vandalism of the Electronic Network or Technology System

Vandalism is defined as any malicious attempt to alter, harm, or destroy equipment or data of another user, the District information service, or the other networks that are connected to the Internet. This includes, but is not limited to the uploading or the creation of computer viruses, the alteration of data, or the theft of restricted information. Any vandalism of the District electronic network or technology system will result in the immediate loss of computer service, disciplinary action and, if appropriate, referral to law enforcement officials.

Consequences

The consequences for violating the District's Acceptable Use Policy include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following:

1. Suspension of District Network privileges;

2. Revocation of Network privileges;

3. Suspension of Internet access;

4. Revocation of Internet access;

5. Suspension of computer access;

6. Revocation of computer access;

7. School suspension;

8. Expulsion; or

9. Employee disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
