The Board recognizes that the Division has implemented an electronic
communications system (network) that will allow unprecedented
opportunities for students, staff and patrons to communicate, learn, access
and publish information. The Board believes that the resources available
through this network and the skills that students will develop in using it are
of significant value in the learning process and student success in the future.
These new opportunities also pose many new challenges including, but not
limited to, access for all students, age level appropriateness of material,
security, and cost of maintaining ever more elaborate systems. The Division
will endeavor to ensure that these concerns are appropriately addressed, but
cannot insure that problems will not arise.
By creating this network, the Board intends only to provide a means for
educational activities and does not intend to create a forum for free
expression purposes as guaranteed in the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms. The Division dedicates the property comprising the network, and
grants access to it by users, only for the educational activities authorized
under this policy and procedures and under the specific limitations contained
therein.
The Board directs the Superintendent to provide training and procedures that
encourage the widest possible access to electronic information systems and
networks by students, staff and patrons while establishing reasonable
controls for the lawful, efficient and appropriate use and management of the
system.
