District clarifies student internet-access policy; administration to post revised language
Summary
Board and staff reviewed a proposed student internet-protection and acceptable-use policy and agreed to post a revised version with edits. Discussion covered parent responsibility to monitor student network use, technical fixes (Eduroam / CK Express), exhibits and handbook cross-references.
The board reviewed a proposed update to the district’s student internet-protection and acceptable-use policy (item labeled EEV/Internet protection access) during the April 9 work session. Staff described recent technical problems affecting student logins (Eduroam / CK Express) and advised straightforward troubleshooting steps for families (delete and re-add network profiles).
Administrators proposed posting the policy with the suggested edits discussed in the meeting (removing enforceable time limits and clarifying language about parental consent and exhibits). Staff said the policy would refer readers to the student handbook and online registration forms for parental photo-consent and internet-use forms, rather than embedding full exhibits in the policy text.
Board direction Trustees asked that the posted draft be redlined so the public could see what language was being retained and what was removed. Board members also discussed the practicalities of student images on school social-media pages and the district’s process for removing unauthorized third-party posts; staff said district pages are monitored and content would be taken down upon request if it violated parental preferences.
Next steps District staff will post the policy text with the agreed edits, redline the removed language for public review, and note that exhibits (parental consent/registration forms) are available in the handbook or registration materials. Staff also said IT staff will continue to provide troubleshooting instructions for off-campus Wi-Fi and school trip connectivity.
Ending: No formal vote was required; staff will update language and post the revised policy for public view.
