COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS
Usually student or parent complaints or concerns can be addressed by a phone call or a
conference with the teacher or principal. For those complaints and concerns that cannot
be handled so easily, the district has adopted a standard complaint policy in the district’s
policy manual. A copy of this policy may be obtained in the principal’s or
superintendent’s office.
In general, the student or parent should submit a written complaint and request a
conference with the campus principal. If the concern is not resolved, a request for a
conference should be sent to the superintendent. If still unresolved, the district provides
for the complaint to be presented to the board of trustees.
COMPUTER RESOURCES
To prepare you for an increasingly computerized society, the district has made a
substantial investment in computer technology for instructional purposes.
Only students who have been authorized by the district and who are under direct
supervision of designated district employees are permitted to use a district computer or to
access any local network or outside telecommunications services such as TENET or the
Internet. Prior to such authorization, the student and the student's parent must sign and
return the District Acceptable Use Form acknowledging their responsibilities and the
consequences of violation.
Students are expected to observe network etiquette by being polite and using appropriate
language. Students are prohibited from pretending to be someone else; using false
identification; transmitting obscene messages or pictures; transmitting threatening or
inappropriate messages; revealing personal addresses, photos, or telephone numbers--
either their own or another person's; or using the network in a way that would disrupt use
by others.
Students and parents must sign a user agreement (separate from this handbook) regarding
use of these resources; violations of this agreement may result in withdrawal of privileges
and other disciplinary action. Students and parents should be aware that electronic
communications (e-mail) using district computers are not private and may be monitored
by district staff.
STUDENTS MAY NOT PLACE THEIR OWN SOFTWARE INTO THE
DISTRICT’S COMPUTERS.
In addition:
1.
All use of the Internet must be in support of education and research and consistent
with the purpose of the Borden County Independent School District.
2.
Any use of the network for commercial use or for profit is prohibited.
3.
Extensive use of the network for personal and private business is prohibited. This
would include personal web sites.
4.
Any use of the network for product advertisement or political lobbying is
prohibited.
