Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Under the provisions of COPPA all commercial websites must get prior consent before children under the age of 13 are permitted to share any personal information about themselves or are permitted to use any interactive communication technologies where they would be able to share personal information with others. This includes chat rooms, email, instant messaging, personal profiles, personal websites, registration forms, and mailing lists. CISD uses a Digital Resource Approval Process to verify COPPA compliance before use of online services by students under 13. Both students in this age group and their teachers will be educated as to the provisions of the law and the Acceptable Use Guidelines. Students under the age of 13 may not visit any websites that collect personal information unless it is for curricular reasons and is under the direction or supervision of a staff member of CISD. A list of resources used for curriculum and instruction can be found on the CISD website. Noncompliance with applicable regulations will result in a) suspension of access to CISD technology resources; b) revocation of account; c) disciplinary action consistent with CISD policies and regulations. (See CISD Student Code of Conduct, Policy BBI, CQ and DH,, Employee Standards of Conduct Code of Ethics and Standard Practice for Texas Educators). Violations of law may result in criminal prosecutions as well as disciplinary action by CISD. Violating any of these rules can result in a disciplinary action. The nature of the violation will determine the appropriate disciplinary action on a case-by-case basis. Disciplinary actions may vary depending on the circumstances and are listed here as a guideline. CISD's network is provided on an "as is, as available" basis.
