Filtering and Monitoring. As required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), content filtering and monitoring technology is used to restrict access to unacceptable materials on all Internet access provided by DSD. However, no web filtering technology is 100% safe. Students who intentionally access, publish, or attempt to access or publish inappropriate or illegal material or Internet sites, will be subject to discipline; which may include the possibility of suspension or expulsion. DSD has the right to monitor, inspect, copy, review and store any and all usage of DSD technology resources including transmitted and received information at any time and without prior notice. Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s words or ideas as your own. Students are required to give proper credit to all Internet sources used in academic assignments, whether quoted or summarized. This includes all forms of media from the Internet such as graphics, movies, music, and text. Plagiarism of Internet resources will be treated in the same manner as any other incidences of plagiarism. In addition, students must follow copyright laws regarding software, authorship, and copying information. When using DSD technology resources, students must follow the same rules, regulations, and policies that apply within the school. If the language, actions, or images would not be appropriate in the classroom, they are not appropriate using DSD technology resources. These rules include, but are not limited to: Be polite and respectful. Never send, or encourage others to send abusive messages.
Filtering and Monitoring. All devices provided by Tazewell County Public Schools are filtered and record all activity conducted on the device. Certain software that is installed on each device allows for screen content to be viewed by the classroom teacher. At any time, activity reports showing exactly what has been done by anyone logged into the unit may be pulled and reviewed by TCPS personnel.
Filtering and Monitoring. The District filters the online content utilizing filtering software at school and at home. Objectionable content is determined locally. As a user of the Tonasket School District network, communications on the network are public in nature, and therefore general school rules for behavior and communications apply and should be in support of the educational process. No student should have any expectation of privacy when using the district's network. Inappropriate use of the network, internet, and/or email may result in your student's loss of privilege to use these educational tools, as well as other disciplinary action and/or prosecution, if appropriate.
