ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING HOME PAGES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB
The Board recognizes that many K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, technical schools and businesses have home pages on the World Wide Web. Home pages allow an international audience to visit the institution or business electronically. Therefore, the construction and ongoing maintenance of a home page that represents the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn School District is to be viewed as a public information vehicle and the following guidelines should be applied:
1. A building committee of interested individuals should be formed to develop a school’s home page. The committee could include but not necessarily be limited to: students, teachers, parents, representatives from the library media staff, computer education staff, technology education staff, and the administrative staff.
2. A school’s initial home page product must be demonstrated to the district Quality Support Council and approved by the Curriculum and Technology Coordinators prior to any public release on the World Wide Web.
3. Each building should develop a written procedure for making future changes to their home page. The written procedure should include the composition of the building level committee responsible for monitoring and changing the home page, as well as a clear delineation of the approval process for changes.
4. Caution: During construction of a home page, careful thought and attention must be given to copyright and privacy issues. For example:
* Student photographs of individuals may have reserved copyrights.
* Student directory information may not be published if parents have requested that it be withheld.
* Staff members also have the right to request that their directory information be withheld.
5. Only the home pages created under the auspices of these administrative regulations will be official representations of the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn School District.
