Administrative Procedure Highlights Employees may not use social media or social networking for personal use while at work. The posting of confidential and/or proprietary information by employees about the District, its data, students, or its employees is forbidden. It is also not permissible to post inappropriate messages, photographs, or other documents. Remember social media sites and blogs are not private and are subject to public records law.

Administrative Procedure Highlights Employees must refrain from creating personal websites or social media/networking sites to communicate with students or engage in “friending” students. Any communication with students through social media/social networking must be educational in nature and receive prior supervisory and parental consent to do so. Remember: You represent the District. Thus, you must be mindful that usage of social media/social networking may have consequences for you personally, professionally, ethically, and legally.
