Re: AUPs

Pat,

Our school board just approved (Sept. 96) an AUP for our district.  Our
AUP is 13 pages long.  It discusses netiquette, privileges of Net usage,
disciplinary procedures, etc.  The students are given the packet with
instructions for them and their parents to read and sign the appropriate
places.  The student then returns the signed forms, I make a copy for my
files, 1 for the student/parents and give the original to our
principal/technology coordinator.  It is our assumption also that without
parental signatures on file that the parent has not given their
permission for the student to have an Internet account and therefore,
access to the Net.  Hope that this helps.
