Terms and
Conditions for Technology/Internet Use (Student)
School Board Policy: Approved 09.26.96 Code 6244
Lauderdale County Schools System has access to computers, network,
and the Internet. This technology is the most effective way we have
found for introducing students to the global nature of information.
It allows users to find, synthesize and share information in a
variety of unique ways.
The Internet has evolved because groups of individuals have chosen
to network their computers in order to share information. A small
minority have made objectionable materials available over the
Internet. Lauderdale County Schools will take every precaution to
restrict access to this information. However, an industrious user may
discover information not acceptable for school use. We firmly believe
that the valuable information and interaction available on the
Internet far outweighs the possibility that users may obtain
unsuitable material. Disciplinary action will be taken against users
found sending or acquiring objectionable material over the Internet
or developing objectionable material on school equipment.
At the present time, the Lauderdale County School System will not
issue individual student email accounts.
Please remember the following:
- Never write or share your password!
- Never tamper with technology equipment that does not belong to
you.
- All network communication must be polite, kind, and free from
inappropriate language.
- Electronic mail is not guaranteed to be private.
- Personal work and electronic mail shall be deleted regularly.
File server space is limited.

shall not be included in network communication.
