Re: TECH: Permissions to Use Internet

[Karen Johnson <karenj@DAOES.TEC.IL.US>]

This is a concern our school has had also.  Looking back, we used to have
students sign a "computer use" agreement but now we assume they will use
the computers responsibly without signing an agreement.  We anticipate in
another 2 years we will not have AUP's, that it will be included in the
student handbook (which is a folder for our students since this is not
 a full day school).  Just thinking ahead: we are interested in your
opinions on this topic also.
