Student Network and  Internet  Acceptable  Use  and Safety Agreement
Defiance City  Schools Acceptable Use  Policy  Signature  Page Use of  the  Internet  is  a  privilege,  not  a  right. The Board  of  Education’s  Internet  connection  is  provided  for educational purposes  only. Unauthorized and  inappropriate  use  will  result  in  a  cancellation  of  this  privilege. The Board  has  implemented  the  use  of  a  Technology  Protection  Measure  which  is  a  specific  technology  that  will protect against  (e.g.,  block/filter)  Internet  access  to  visual  displays  that  are  obscene,  child  pornography  or  harmful  to minors. The Board  also  monitors  online  activity  of  students  in  an  effort  to  restrict  access  to  pornography  and  other  material  that  is  obscene,  objectionable,  inappropriate  and/or  harmful  to  minors. Nevertheless, parents/guardians  are  advised  that  determined  users  may  be  able  to  gain  access  to  information, communication and/or  services  on  the  Internet  which  the  Board  has  not  authorized  for  educational  purposes and/or which  they  and/or  their  parents/guardians  may  find  inappropriate,  offensive,  objectionable or controversial. Parent/Guardians assume  this  risk  by  consenting  to  allow  their  students  to  participate  in  the  use of the  Internet. Students accessing  the  Internet  through  the  school’s  computers  assume  personal  responsibility and liability,  both  civil  and criminal, for  unauthorized  or  inappropriate  use  of  the  Internet. The Board  has  the  right  to  monitor,  review  and  inspect  any  directories,  files  and/or  messages  residing  on  or  sent  using  the  Board’s  computers/networks. Messages relating  to  or  in  support  of  illegal  activities  will  be  reported  to  the  appropriate  authorities.

As the parent/guardian of this  student,  I  have  read  the  Student  Network  and  Internet  Acceptable  Use  and Safety Policy  and  Guidelines,  and  have  discussed  them  with  my  child. I understand  th at  student  access  to  the Internet is  designed  for  educational  purposes  and  that  the  Board  has  taken  available  precautions  to  restrict and/or control  student  access  to  material  on  the  Internet  that  is  obscene,  objectionable,  inappropriate  and/or harmful to  minors. However, I  recognize  that  it  is  impossible  for  the  Board  to  restrict  access  to  all  objectionable and/or controversial  materials  that  may  be  found  on  the  Internet. I will  not  hold  the  Board  (or  any  of  its  employees,  administrators  or  officers)  respo nsible for  materials  my  child  may  acquire  or  come  in  contact  with while on  the  Internet. Additionally, I  accept  responsibility  for  communication  to  my  child  guidance  concerning his/her acceptable  use  of  the  Internet. I further  understand  that  individuals  a nd  families  may  be  liable  for violations. To the  extent  that  proprietary  rights  in  the  design  of  a  web  site  hosted  on  the  Board’s  servers  would vest in  my  child  upon  creation,  I  agree  to  assign  those  rights  to  the  Board.
