Our district handles the publication of student work and pictures through the Acceptable Use Policy. Parents must sign this policy agreeing that students will not abuse district network and web technologies. They also give permission for student work to be published, as well as student pictures as long as the student is not identified.

Our district deals with computer viruses by maintaining firewall and virus protection software.

Copyright is the rights and protection to an author or creator of a work exclusively over all other people (whether it is literary, musical or artistic) to copy, license or distribute their own work.

Fair use allows educators to use a limited portion of copyrighted materials for educational purposes, as long as it does not impair the value of the work or limit the profits of the original owner.
