email privacy

[La Maroon <l_maroon@conknet.com>]

I have been asked by our tech. coordinator to speak to teachers
about the use of email through the school touching on
the following  points:
1. school email is for work related issues
2. school email is not private

I would like to point out examples of proper uses of school email,
improper uses of school email, and those that run the line between the
two. Obviously there have been some crossing of the lines here at our
school as more and more teachers acquire email at school.

I believe people bring privacy assumptions from Postal Mail to
email and I would like to point out why and how email is not
private in the way Postal Mail is private.

Any articles, web sites, training, policies or war stories would be
appreciated.

thanks
I will post a hit if I get lots of good info
