Technology Acceptable Use Policy #6142.1
This policy is subject to revision by the Diocese of Columbus at any time during the
school year. Schools within the Diocese of Columbus have implemented voice, data,
and video electronic communication systems that will allow unprecedented
opportunities for students and staff to communicate, learn, and publish information.
These network resources provide students and staff access to electronic resources and
are to be used for educational purposes.
Communication over the diocesan network is not to be considered private. Network
supervision and maintenance may require review and inspection of network activity.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNET ACCESS AND USE:
The use of the Internet must be in support of education or research and adhere to the educational
goals and objectives of the Diocese of Columbus Department of Education. While some
material accessible via the Internet may contain information that is inappropriate or inaccurate,
the Department believes that the benefits to students exceed the disadvantages. Ultimately,
parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that
their children should follow when using network resources.
Acceptable Use of the Internet:
Students are responsible for appropriate behavior when using the Internet just as they are in a
classroom or hallway. Students are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of
network etiquette:
