The Solana Beach School District is pleased to offer students and staff of the District access to the District computer network for Internet, streamed video and other educational resources. District staff access online resources to enhance instruction and provide additional learning opportunities for students. This access is limited and is subject to District policies, rules, regulations, and restrictions, as they may be amended from time to time. This use is also subject to all applicable laws. Students will be granted access when written consent of the student's parent or guardian is received.

Access to these resources through the District is a privilege, not a right. Notwithstanding any provision in this policy, the District may revoke access at any time by giving written notice to the parent or guardian.

When using the District's computers and network, the student's behavior can affect the other students as well as the employees of the District and the public. A student's activities while using the network must be in support of education and research, and consistent with the educational objectives and the rules and regulations of the District. In addition, a student accessing the Internet and other information resources using District equipment and facilities is responsible for all activities taking place as a result of the student's access. Access is permitted with the permission of and the general supervision of an employee of the District.

IMPROPER USE OF THE NETWORK, FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT WILL RESULT IN THE CANCELLATION OF THE STUDENT'S ACCESS PRIVILEGES AND REVOCATION OF PERMISSION TO USE THE NETWORK, AS WELL AS DISCIPLINARY ACTION BY SCHOOL OFFICIALS.

Improper use is defined in District rules and regulations, which may be amended periodically. By way of example and illustration only, the following is a list of some of the uses that are unacceptable:

• using impolite, abusive, offensive, or otherwise objectionable language in either public or private messages;
• using the Internet or other resources for sending or retrieving confidential, illegal, obscene, or other material unrelated to the educational objective for which access is granted;
• placing, on the Internet or other information system, material which is confidential, illegal, obscene, or unrelated to the educational objective for which access is granted;
• sending, receiving, copying, or changing copyrighted materials without first obtaining all required permission;
• knowingly or negligently allowing any other person to obtain the student's password;
• using another person's password;
• allowing your account/password to be used by another person;
• using the network for financial gain, commercial activity, political activity, or for any illegal activity;
• damaging, destroying, removing, copying, or abusing any District equipment, including but not limited to computers, printers, and software.

Student's Agreement
The Governing Board of Solana Beach School District recognizes the educational value of using Internet and other online resources for communication and information access and encourages the use of such sources to enhance student learning. My teacher, principal, and the leaders of my school district believe that the Internet and other electronic technology can help me learn. They also realize that it is a privilege for students to use computers and other technology that belongs to the school district. To keep this privilege, all students that use school technology have to agree to use it responsibly. As one of the students who use school technology, I understand the school district’s rules about using technology and I agree to follow them. I know that if I don’t follow the rules, the school district officials will have the right to take my privileges away and give me other appropriate consequences.
