    • Student Technology Acceptable Use Policy 
    • 7540.03 - STUDENT TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTABLE USE AND SAFETY / PRIVACY POLICY

      Technology has fundamentally altered the ways in which information is accessed, communicated, and transferred in society. As a result, educators are continually adapting their means and methods of instruction, and the way they approach student learning, to incorporate the vast, diverse, and unique resources available through the Internet. The Board of Education provides Technology Resources (as defined in Bylaw 0100) to support the educational and professional needs of its students and staff. With respect to students, District Technology Resources afford them the opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge to learn effectively and live productively in a digital world. The Board provides students with access to the Internet for limited educational purposes only and utilizes online educational services/apps to enhance the instruction delivered to its students. The District’s computer network and Internet system do not serve as a public access service or a public forum, and the Board imposes reasonable restrictions on its use consistent with its limited educational purpose. The Board regulates the use of District Technology Resources by principles consistent with applicable local, State, and Federal laws, the District's educational mission, and articulated expectations of student conduct as delineated in the Student Code of Conduct. This policy and its related administrative guidelines and the Student Code of Conduct govern students’ use of District Technology Resources and students' personal communication devices when they are connected to the District computer network, Internet connection, and/or online educational services/apps, or when used while the student is on Board-owned property or at a Board- sponsored activity (see Policy 5136). Users are required to refrain from actions that are illegal (such as libel, slander, vandalism, harassment, theft, plagiarism, inappropriate access, and the like) or unkind (such as personal attacks, invasion of privacy, injurious comment, and the like). Because its Technology Resources are not unlimited, the Board has also instituted restrictions aimed at preserving these resources, such as placing limits on use of bandwidth, storage space, and printers. Users have no right or expectation to privacy when using District Technology Resources (including, but not limited to, privacy in the content of their personal files, e-mails, and records of their online activity when using the District's computer network and/or Internet connection). First, the Board may not be able to technologically limit access, through its Technology Resources, to only those services and resources that have been authorized for the purpose of instruction, study and research related to the curriculum. Unlike in the past when educators and community members had the opportunity to review and screen materials to assess their appropriateness for supporting and enriching the curriculum according to adopted guidelines and reasonable selection criteria (taking into account the varied instructional needs, learning styles, abilities, and developmental levels of the students who would be exposed to them), access to the Internet, because it serves as a gateway to any publicly available file server in the world, opens classrooms and students to electronic information resources that may not have been screened by educators for use by students of various ages. 

      The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE), approved service provider, and other State agencies operate the Statewide infrastructure to provide Internet access for all Pre-K-12 public schools. Pursuant to Federal law, the State has implemented technology protection measures, that protect against (e.g., filter or block) access to visual displays/depictions/materials that are obscene, constitute child pornography, and/or are harmful to minors, as defined by the Children's Internet Protection Act. 

      Electronic filtering will be installed by the West Virginia Department of Education at the two (2) points of presence (POPs) for Internet access. This will provide filtering for all public schools in a cost effective manner and with efficient management. This service enables County/schools to meet the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and E-Rate guideline requirements for filtering. 

      At the discretion of the Board or the Superintendent, the technology protection measures may be configured to protect against access to other material considered inappropriate for students to access. The Board also utilizes software and/or hardware to monitor online activity of students to restrict access to child pornography and other material that is obscene, objectionable, inappropriate and/or harmful to minors. The technology protection measures may not be disabled at any time that students may be using District Technology Resources, if such disabling will cease to protect against access to materials that are prohibited under the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Any student who attempts to disable the technology protection measures will be subject to discipline. 

      The Superintendent or Director of Technology may temporarily or permanently unblock access to websites or online educational services/apps containing appropriate material, if access to such sites has been inappropriately blocked by the technology protection measures. The determination of whether material is appropriate or inappropriate shall be based on the content of the material and the intended use of the material, not on the protection actions of the technology protection measures. 

      Parents are advised that a determined user may be able to gain access to services and/or resources on the Internet that the Board has not authorized for educational purposes. In fact, it is impossible to guarantee students will not gain access through the Internet to information and communications that they and/or their parents may find inappropriate, offensive, objectionable, or controversial. Parents of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using the Internet. 

      Pursuant to Federal law, students shall receive education about the following: 

      A. safety and security while using e-mail, chat rooms, social media, and other forms of directelectronic communications;

      B. the dangers inherent with the online disclosure of personally identifiable information;

      C.t he consequences of unauthorized access (e.g., "hacking", "harvesting", "digital piracy", "datamining", etc.), cyberbullying and other unlawful or inappropriate activities by students online; and

      D. unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information regarding minors.

      Staff members shall provide instruction for their students regarding the appropriate use of technology and online safety and security as specified above. Furthermore, staff members will monitor the online activities of students while at school. 

      Monitoring may include, but is not necessarily limited to, visual observations of online activities during class sessions or use of specific monitoring tools to review browser history and network, server, and computer logs. 

      Building principals are responsible for providing training so that Internet users under their supervision are knowledgeable about this policy and its accompanying guidelines. The Board expects that staff members will provide guidance and instruction to students in the appropriate use of District Technology Resources. Such training shall include, but not be limited to, education concerning appropriate online behavior, including interacting with other individuals on social media, including in chat rooms, and cyberbullying awareness and response. All users of District Technology Resources (and their parents if they are minors) are required to sign a written agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of this policy and its accompanying guidelines. 

      Students will be assigned school accounts that they are required to utilize for all school-related electronic communications, including those to staff members, peers, and individuals and/or organizations outside the District, with whom they are communicating for school-related projects and assignments. Further, as directed and authorized by their teachers, they shall use their school-assigned electronic accounts when signing-up/registering for access to various online educational services, including mobile applications/apps that will be utilized by the student for educational purposes. 

      Students are responsible for good behavior when using District Technology Resources - i.e., behavior comparable to that expected of students when they are in classrooms, school hallways, and other school premises and school-sponsored events. Communications on the Internet are often public in nature. 

      General school rules for behavior and communication apply. The Board does not approve any use of its Technology Resources that is not authorized by or conducted strictly in compliance with this policy and its accompanying guidelines. 

      The WVDE reserves the right to monitor, inspect, investigate, copy, review, and store, without prior notice, information about the content and usage of any network and system files, user files, disk space utilization, applications, bandwidth utilization, document files, folders, electronic communications, e-mail, Internet access, and any and all information transmitted or received in connection with networks, e-mail use, and web-based tools. 

      Users who disregard this policy and its accompanying guidelines may have their use privileges suspended or revoked, and disciplinary action taken against them. 

      Users are personally responsible and liable, both civilly and criminally, for uses of District Technology Resources that are not authorized by this policy and its accompanying guidelines. 

      Based upon the acceptable use and safety guidelines outlined in West Virginia State Board of Education policy 2460, the State Superintendent, the WVDE and the WVNET system administrators will determine what is appropriate use, and their decision is final. Also, the system administrator and/or local teachers may deny user access at any time. 

      Downloading, copying, duplicating, and distributing software, music, sound files, movies, images, or other copyrighted materials without the specific written permission of the copyright owner is generally prohibited. However, the duplication and distribution of materials for educational purposes are permitted if and when such duplication and distribution fall within the Fair Use Doctrine of the United States Copyright Law (Title 17, United States Code http://copyright.gov/title17) and content is cited appropriately. 

      The Board designates the Superintendent and Director of Technology as the administrators responsible for initiating, implementing, and enforcing this policy and its accompanying guidelines as they apply to students’ use of District Technology Resources.

      Procedures for Collection, Maintenance and Disclosure of Student Data (FERPA) The Jefferson County Board of Education would like to inform parents/guardians of students attending Jefferson County Schools of its policies and procedures regarding student educational records. Parents or eligible students have the following rights:

      The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within forty-five days of the day Jefferson County Schools receives a request for access.
      The right to request the record(s) they wish to inspect in writing to the school principal. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
      The right to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal; clearly identify the part of the record they want changed and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
      If Jefferson County Schools decides not to amend the record as requested by the parents or eligible student, Jefferson County Schools will notify the parents or eligible students of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parents or eligible students when notified of the right to a hearing.
      The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. o One exception which permits disclosure without consent is a disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. Jefferson County Schools’ Procedures defines “school official” as the student’s current teacher(s), school administrative staff, school counselors, psychologist, evaluators, board of education, central office administrative staff, social workers, and trained support personnel; secretaries, teacher aides with direct professional supervision, who are employed or contracted by the Jefferson County Board of Education. o A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

      ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN

      This is to make you aware that the Jefferson County Board of Education has an Asbestos Management Plan in place. This management plan is available for review at the Board of Education Office, and is on file in each School Administrative Office. Over the past year, two periodic surveillance inspections of the school districts’ buildings were conducted.

      During the next year, the six-month asbestos periodic surveillance program will continue. Jefferson County Schools currently has no plans for additional abatements in the coming year. The Environmental Protection Agency is considering new regulations for PFA levels in drinking water. PFAs are a family of man-made chemicals found in thousands of products. The new regulations, which could go into effect by the end of 2023, shift the acceptable levels from 70 parts per trillion down to four parts per trillion.

      Under the proposed regulations, some water systems supplying schools in Jefferson County may be above the newly established threshold.

      If you have any questions concerning the Jefferson County Schools Asbestos Management Plan or source water assessments, please contact the Jefferson County Schools Maintenance Department at 304-7255711.

      Jefferson County Schools is insured by the West Virginia Board of Risk and Insurance Management (BRIM).
