Policy
TELECOMMUNICATIONS/TECHNOLOGY
The board shall develop a technology plan that effectively uses electronic communication to advance and promote learning and teaching. This system of technology shall be used to provide local, statewide, national and global communications opportunities for staff and pupils. Educational technology shall be infused into the district curriculum to maximize pupil achievement of the Core Curriculum Content Standards.
Educational technology shall be infused into the district curriculum to maximize pupil achievement of the Core Curriculum Content Standards.

Compliance With CIPA
A. Filters Blocking Access to Inappropriate Material (continued)
Specifically, as required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, blocking shall be applied to visual depictions of material deemed obscene or child pornography, or to any material deemed harmful to minors.
Subject to staff supervision, technology protection measures may be disabled or, in the case of minors, minimized only for bona fide research or other lawful purposes.
B. Inappropriate Network Usage
To the extent practical, steps shall be taken to promote the safety and security of users of the school district online computer network when using electronic mail, chat rooms, instant messaging, and other forms of direct electronic communications.
Specifically, as required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act, prevention of inappropriate network usage includes:
1. Unauthorized access, including so-called “hacking,” and other unlawful activities; and
2. Unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal identification information regarding minors.
C. Education, Supervision and Monitoring
It shall be the responsibility of all members of the school district staff to educate, supervise and monitor usage of the online computer network and access to the Internet in accordance with this policy and the Children’s Internet protection Act. Procedures for the disabling or otherwise modifying any technology protection measures shall be the responsibility of the chief school administrator or his or her designee.
The chief school administrator or his or her designee shall ensure that pupils and staff who use the school internet facilities receive appropriate training including the following:
1. The district established standards for the acceptable use of the internet;
2. Internet safety rules;
3. Rules for limited supervised access to and appropriate behavioral expectations for use of online resources, social network websites, and chat rooms;
4. Cyberbullying (board policy 5131.2 Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying) awareness and response.
Pupil use of the Internet shall be supervised by qualified staff.
Standards for the Promotion of Online Safety for Pupils
While the Internet offers a variety of opportunities to enhance pupils’ educational experiences, there are certain risks associated with the Internet created by other users. Pupils are required to adhere to the following guidelines regarding safety. Any individual who fails to adhere to these guidelines will have his/her network privileges revoked.
1. Users are prohibited from disclosing personal information such as addresses, phone numbers, pictures, or the name and location of the school without the permission of a teacher and a parent. Standards for the Promotion of Online Safety for Pupils (continued)
2. Users are obligated to disclose to a teacher or parent any information or electronic messages which make them uncomfortable.
3. Users shall never meet in person with someone they have met online without first receiving permission from a parent. The board does not condone such meetings and strongly suggests that they do not occur.
4 Users shall report any security problems, such as a gap in system or network security, to a teacher or system administrator.
5. Users shall set a password for their account to protect it from unauthorized use. The password should be difficult to guess and should be changed on a regular basis to assure the continued security of the account. Users should never divulge their passwords and will be held accountable for the consequences of intentionally or negligently disseminating this information.
Acceptable Use Of The Internet
The board recognizes that telecommunications and other new technologies will shift the manner in which information is accessed, communicated, and transferred. These new technologies will alter the nature of teaching and learning. Access to telecommunications will allow pupils and employees to explore databases, libraries, Internet sites, bulletin boards and the like while exchanging information with individuals throughout the world. The board supports access by pupils and employees to these information sources and the potential they have to enhance pupils’ educational experiences, but it reserves the right to limit use of these new technologies during school hours and on school premises to legitimate educational purposes. At all other times, the board demands that users utilize the computer network in a responsible manner and in accordance with this policy.
The board also recognizes that telecommunications will allow pupils access to information sources that have not been pre‑screened by educators using board approved standards. While the board will make its best efforts to monitor use of school computer networks/computers, the board cannot monitor users at all times and cannot guarantee that users will not access inappropriate materials, especially when access is from a site off campus. The board therefore adopts the following standards of conduct for the use of computer network/computers, including electronic mail communications, to which all users are expected to adhere, and declares unethical, unacceptable and illegal behavior in violation of these standards, and said behavior will serve as just cause for taking disciplinary action, limiting or revoking network access privileges, and/or instituting legal action.
The board provides access to computer network/computers for educational purposes only, and, for employees, for purposes related to job performance. The board retains the right to restrict or to terminate access to the computer network/computers at any time, for any reason. The board retains the right to have district personnel monitor network activity, in any form necessary, to maintain the integrity of the network and to ensure its proper use.
Standards for Use of Computer Networks
It is understood that computer networked services are provided exclusively for educational purposes. Educational purposes are those that are related to or necessary to prepare for or to complete lessons or classroom assignments, and, for employees, those purposes related to job performance. Users will adhere to the standard of conduct required in the classroom and will follow the regulations posted in the computer lab. Users are prohibited from engaging in the Standards for Use of Computer Networks (continued) following conduct and shall be subject to discipline and/or legal action for such conduct:
1. Using the computer network/computers for illegal activities or in support of illegal activities. Illegal activities are defined as activities which violate federal, state, and local laws or regulations.
2. Using the computer network/computers in a way that violates existing district policy.
3. Using the computer network/computers for obscene purposes or to obtain or transmit obscene materials. Obscene materials are those that appeal to the prurient interest, depict sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and lack serious literary, artistic, or scientific value.
4. Using the computer network/computers to send or display lewd, indecent, or vulgar speech or materials.
5. Using the computer network/computers to send or display harassing, demeaning, or offensive speech or materials.
6. Using the computer network/computers to engage in activities that could materially or substantially interfere with the operation of the school, the school’s educational mission, or other pupils’ rights.
7. Using the computer network/computers to violate copyrights, trademarks, an individual’s right of publicity, any form of intellectual property, license agreements, or other contracts.
8. Displaying any personally identifiable information about pupils including name, address, photographs, social security number, or other personal characteristics that would make the pupil easily identifiable without obtaining prior parental consent. Consent shall be obtained on the form developed by the state department of education. “Personally identifiable information” refers to pupil names, photos, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and locations and times of class trips.
9. Using the computer networks/computers in a manner that:
a. Intentionally disrupts network traffic or crashes the network;
b. Degrades or disrupts equipment or system performance. Examples of conduct that degrade or disrupt equipment or system performance include, but are not limited to, the following activities: utilizing shared computing resources for excessive game playing or other trivial applications; sending unnecessary or excessive mail or messages; printing of excessive copies of documents, files, images or data; deliberately running grossly inefficient programs when more efficient choices are available; creating, sending, or forwarding electronic chain letters;
c. Uses the computing resources of the school district for commercial purposes, financial gain, or fraud;
d. Steals data or other intellectual property;
e. Gains or seeks unauthorized access to files of others or vandalizes the data of another user; f. Forges electronic mail messages or uses an account owned by others; and/or creates an account under false/identity theft.
g. Invades the privacy of others. Users will not use the network to obtain private information about others, post private information about another person, or re‑post a message that was sent to them privately without permission of the person who sent the message;
h. Posts anonymous messages;
i. Possesses any data which is in violation of this policy; and/or
j. Engages in other activities that do not advance the educational purposes for which the computer network/computers are provided.
k. Uses outside software without the prior approval of the school’s technology coordinator or system administrator.
Off school premises, users may utilize the computer network for legitimate, non‑education related reasons. However, users are expected to adhere to this policy in all other regards, and specifically, shall adhere to the user guidelines set forth above.
Users will be personally charged for any unauthorized costs incurred in their use of the computer network/computers and held responsible for any damages caused by their intentional misuse of the computer network/computer equipment.
Users are required to report any evidence of a violation of these rules to school authorities and employees are expected to ensure to the best of their abilities that pupils use the computer network/computers in accordance with this policy.
The district will fully cooperate with any local, state or federal agency in any investigation concerning or relating to misuse of the district’s computer network/computers.
Aside from this policy, use of the computer network/computers by pupils and employees will be governed by the district’s existing policies and, for employees, the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement specifically as it relates to professional conduct.
Any violation of district policy and rules may result in a loss of district‑provided access to the Internet. Violations may result in additional disciplinary action, including suspension and expulsion. When applicable, law enforcement agencies will be contacted regarding potential illegal activities. Specifically, individuals violating this policy shall be subject to appropriate discipline which could include, but which is not limited to,
a. Use of network only under direct supervision;
b. Suspension of network privileges;
c. Revocation of network privileges;
d. Suspension of computer privileges;
e. Revocation of computer privileges;
f. For pupils, suspension or expulsion from school;
g. For employees, letters of reprimand, increment withholding, loss of employment; and/or
h. Legal action and prosecution by the authorities.
Privacy
Individuals should have no expectation of privacy with respect to their files on board provided computer network/computers. All data stored or transmitted or accessed by users, including E‑mail, can and will be monitored by the board.
Due Process
In the event there is an allegation that a pupil has violated the Acceptable Use Policy, that pupil will be provided with a written notice of the alleged violation and an opportunity to present an explanation before a district administrator. A hearing will be provided when required by district policy or the applicable statutes and regulations governing discipline of pupils.
Employee violations of the Acceptable Use Policy will be handled in accordance with district policy and the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Intellectual Property and Plagiarism
Because certain works found on the Internet are protected by copyright, trademark, and other forms of intellectual property, employees will either request permission from the owner of the intellectual property rights prior to using any materials obtained on the Internet, or the employee will consult with the administration to determine whether the materials may be used without receiving permission based on certain exceptions to intellectual property rights as set forth in the relevant laws. Teachers will instruct pupils to adhere to the same guidelines.
Users will be held personally liable for any of their own actions that violate another party’s intellectual property rights. District practices on plagiarism will govern the use of materials accessed through the Inernet. Teachers will instruct pupils as to the definition of plagiarism and the proper method to cite to materials.
Responsibility for Damage Suffered
The Demarest Public School District makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied, for the Internet access it provides. The district will not be responsible for any damage users suffer including, but not limited to, loss of data or interruption of service. The district will also not be responsible for the accuracy or quality of the information obtained through or stored on the system. The board will not be responsible for financial obligations arising from the unauthorized use of the system.
District Web Site
The chief school administrator shall publish and disseminate guidelines on acceptable material for district web sites. The chief school administrator shall also ensure that district and school web sites do not disclose personally identifiable information about pupils without prior written consent from parents/guardians. Consent shall be obtained on the form developed by the state department of education. “Personally identifiable information” refers to pupil names, photos, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and locations and times of class trips.
Parental Notification and Responsibility
The chief school administrator shall ensure that parents/guardians are notified about the district network and the rules governing its use. No pupil will be permitted to use the district’s telecommunications system unless and until the pupil and his/her parents (if the pupil is less than 18 years old) sign the district’s Consent and Release Form which acknowledges that:
A. The pupil and his/her parent, if applicable, have read and understand this policy and the accompanying regulation;
B. The pupil will be held accountable for all of his/her network and Internet activities;

Anti-Big Brother Statement
The Statute (NJ Legislature) states the following:
CHAPTER 44: AN ACT concerning notification to certain persons using certain electronic devices and supplementing Title 18A of the New Jersey Statutes.
BE IT ENACTED by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
C.18A:36-39 Notification by school to certain persons using certain electronic devices; fine. 1.A school district or charter school that furnishes a student with a laptop computer, cellular telephone, or other electronic device shall provide the student with written or electronic notification that the electronic device may record or collect information on the student's activity or the student’s use of the device if the electronic device is equipped with a camera, global positioning system, or other feature capable of recording or collecting information on the student’s activity or use of the device. The notification shall also include a statement that the school district or charter school shall not use any of the capabilities in a manner that would violate the privacy rights of the student or any individual residing with the student. The parent or guardian of the student shall acknowledge receipt of the notification. The school district or charter school shall retain the acknowledgement as long as the student retains the use of the electronic device.
Demarest Public Schools will furnish each student with an Apple laptop. We understand that the iMac is an Internet connected device that is equipped with a camera, Global Positioning System, and/or other feature capable of recording or collecting information on the student’s activity or use of the device. Demarest Public Schools “shall not use any of the capabilities of the laptop in a manner that would violate the privacy rights of the student or any individual residing with student.”
Receiving and Registering Your Computer
All school-issued computers will display a serial number, which will be registered to a specific student. All students are responsible for the computer registered to them. Students who choose to use their own device must provide a letter of intention to use their own technology to the building administration. Letters of intention should be given to the school principal. All students must use The District filtered wireless network while on school grounds. By authenticating and logging into The District network, the student is agreeing to comply with the terms of The District Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Once on The District network, all users will have filtered Internet access on their personal equipment in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), just as they would on District devices.
School-Issued Technology Insurance
Our vision is to equip each student with a laptop to be used for enhancing the learning experience and enriching curricular content. All middle school students will have access to a laptop for the school year. However, in order for students to take their laptop home and make it a truly personal device, which is the intended function of the Apple hardware, insurance must be purchased.
The laptop insurance will cost approximately $85.00 for each unit. The protection plan will cover theft, accidental damage, drops, liquid spills and submersion, cracked screens, mechanical breakdowns, and manufacturer defects. It also allows transfer of coverage to a new device should the laptop need replacement. Insurance will not cover deliberate misuse or neglect of any school-issued laptop.
The laptops are the property of The Demarest Board of Education. Any student that does not purchase insurance will not be allowed to take a laptop outside of the school building. The student will be responsible to pay for any and all damages that occur during school use. In the event that a student does not purchase insurance, the student’s family will be responsible to pay for any and all damages that occur to the laptop during school use. The Demarest Board of Education highly recommends purchasing insurance to protect student-issued laptops. If a family is unable to pay for insurance please contact the school principal.
Technology and Computer Use At School and Home
The District will allow students to bring their own authorized technology devices (currently includes laptops, netbooks, eReaders, iPads, and android tablets) for personal use at the following specified times during the school day:
1. Before/after school; and
2. In the classroom, when specifically permitted by the classroom teacher
Students and staff are required to access The District’s wireless network when using the approved devices during the school day under the supervision of the classroom teacher or when authorized to use approved devices for personal use as approved by the school principal. While users may operate their own devices to access the Internet, they must do so by way of the district’s filtered wireless connections. The use of private Internet access on school grounds is prohibited. Users may not disable, override or circumvent district technology filters, profiles nor other provisioning/protection measures.
The student-issued laptop shall remain property of The Demarest Board of Education. Students are responsible for adhering to the guidelines and rules set forth by Demarest Middle School. Students are responsible for the general care of the laptop, case and charger.
1. Do not place any stickers on the laptop, case, or cover. Do not write or draw on the laptop, case, or cover. The case must remain on school-issued laptops at all times.
2. Carefully insert and remove cords and cables from the laptop to prevent damage and/or loss of data.
3. Do not leave your laptop in an unsupervised area, hot or frigid car or by fluids. When not using your laptop it should be safely locked in your locker.
4. Laptops are not allowed in the cafeteria during lunchtime, unless the school principal grants special permission. Please keep laptops away from food and drinks both in and out of school.
5. The profile settings in place are to remain the same. Any alterations in these settings could result in loss of laptop privileges.
6. Students will be given a default password and will then create a new one upon being issued the device. This password is NEVER to be changed. Students should NEVER share their password with a peer.
7. The act of “jail breaking” a piece of hardware or software involves hacking the device and bypassing restrictions set fort by the manufacturer/creator in order to run “unauthorized” software and/or make changes to the operating system. This practice is not allowed. All laptops, the pre-installed operating system, and software must remain in original condition.
The Demarest Middle School can restrict or disable any functions, hardware components, software, or apps which do not support classroom instruction, curricular content or positive interaction among peers.
The District Acceptable Use Policy governs laptop use. Any infraction of this policy can lead to a suspension of technology rights and/or appropriate discipline as directed by the school principal. Laptops can be collected at any time for software updates or general inspection.
Taking Care of Your Electronic Equipment
Students who are provided with a school-issued laptop must comply with the following regulations provided below. All devices are school property and all users of these devices must adhere to the safety and care instructions implemented through the Acceptable Use Policy for technology.
A. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth or anti-static cloth. Use of harsh chemicals WILL damage the screen.
B. Cords and cables must be inserted carefully into the computer device to prevent damage.
C. The school-furnished electronic device and case must remain free of any writing, drawing, stickers, or labels that are not the property of Demarest Board of Education.
D. School-furnished electronic device must never be left in an unlocked locker, unlocked car, or any unsupervised area.
E. Students are responsible for keeping the battery charged and computer ready for school each day. Teachers are permitted to deny technology use if the computer is not charged.
F. The protective cases with sufficient padding shall be provided to protect the device from normal treatment and provide a suitable means for carrying the device within the school. Students must keep their school-furnished electronic device in the protective case, provided by the school, at all times.
G. All school-issued computers must be handled carefully and properly to prevent damages.
a. Do not lean on the top of the electronic device when it is closed.
