telecommunication resources to further the educational purposes of its goals and objectives.
Reasonable care has been taken to assure the appropriateness of information received via the
Internet. However, employees are warned that Lumen Christi Catholic School does not have
control over what information is displayed on the internet. Each employee is responsible for
imparting the standards of ethical and legal conduct when using the school’s computers and
telecommunication systems.

Additionally, individual users of the school computer networks are responsible for their behavior
and communications over those networks. It is presumed that users will comply with the school
standards and will honor the Employee Agreements. It is also assumed that employees will treat
school equipment with respect and consideration.

purely personal uses are not authorized. Staff using this resource for purposes not clearly
articulated in this policy or guideline, are required to request and receive permission from an

caused by inappropriate use of these resources shall be made available to all staff members.

Network storage areas may be treated like all other school-owned areas. Network administrators

the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored on school servers will always
be private.
