Student Use of Technology in Instruction
(B.P. 6163.4)

Student Use of Technology
   The Governing Board recognizes that technology provides ways to access the most current and extensive sources of information. Technology also enables students to practice skills and to develop reasoning and problem-solving abilities. In addition, electronic resources foster workplace skills that may be transferable to new technologies. Every effort shall be made to provide equal access to technology throughout the district’s schools and classes.

Online Services
   To discourage access to adult content on online electronic services and preclude other misuses of the system, the Superintendent or designee shall establish age/grade-level qualifications and shall ensure that students receive training in user obligations and responsibilities.
   Before using online services, the student and parent/guardian shall sign the District’s user contract indicating that the student understands and agrees to abide by specified user obligations and responsibilities.
   Staff shall closely supervise student while using online services and may ask teacher aides and student aides to assist in this supervision.
   The Superintendent or designee shall establish administrative regulation governing use of the district’s online services. He/she shall ensure that users have no expectation of privacy and understand that district staff may monitor or examine all system activities to ensure proper use of the system. Students who fail to abide by these regulations shall be subject to disciplinary action, revocation of their user privileges, and legal action as appropriate.
