information, offering effective tools to assist in providing a quality

Board expects all employees to learn to use the available technological
resources that will assist them in the performance of their job
responsibilities. As needed, employees shall receive training in the
appropriate use of these resources.

designee so that he/she may have system access.
The Superintendent or designee shall establish administrative regulations
which outline employee obligations and responsibilities related to the use
of district technology. He/she also may establish guidelines and limits on
the use of technological resources. Inappropriate use shall result in a
cancellation of the employee's user privileges, disciplinary action and/or
legal action in accordance with law, Board policy and administrative
regulations.
(cf. 4118 - Suspension/Disciplinary Action)
(cf. 4218 - Dismissal/Suspension/Disciplinary Action)
