INFORMATION LISTED BELOW IS NOT PART OF THE TDA ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY Ex. 1: Each teacher, administrator, student and parent/guardian of each student shall sign the Acceptable Computer System Use Agreement, before using the Davis computer system. The failure of any student, teacher or administrator to follow the terms of the agreement, this policy or accompanying regulation may result in loss of computer system privileges, disciplinary action, and/or appropriate legal action.

Ex. 2: Consequences of violations include but are not limited to: Guidelines for access to information have already been established in the Library Bill of Rights of 1980. These principles can be applied to the Internet as well. This document states that "attempts to restrict access to library materials violate the basic tenets of the Library Bill of Rights; however, school librarians are required to devise collections that are consistent with the philosophy, goals, and objectives of the school district." This means that students have the right to information, but the school has the right to restrict any information that does not apply to the approved curriculum. Materials on the Internet can be considered part of a vast digital library. Electronic database and information search tools to access the Internet are becoming part of school media centers and libraries, and many public libraries offer some type of Internet access as part of their services. Users should be aware that use of the Internet and/or E-mail is not guaranteed to be private. System operators will have access to all user accounts, including E-mail. Messages relating to or in support of illegal activities will be reported to the proper authorities. Access to the Internet via the Davis Academy is a privilege not a right. This privilege may be restricted at any time for use not consistent with the educational goals of the school.
