Online Communication and
Social Networking

Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to use our interactive website and tools; however, all must be utilized within the context of educational usage. Staff-created blogs or other online content must also only occur within the context of educational usage. Users must follow the District Network and Internet policy as well as proper etiquette, including but not limited to, using proper language with no vulgarity and no cyber bullying or spreading falsehoods about another that lowers the affected individual in the eyes of the community. Teacher/parent/ student interactions online must only occur within the context of educational usage.

Overview of Board of Education Policies

The Board of Education Policy Book is the primary governance document for the goals and operations of the Southampton Public Schools. Board of Education policies

are written and approved in accordance with State Education Law, but also reflect the culture and values of the local school community as determined by duly elected trustees following public readings and opportunities for input.

The complete Board of Education Policy Handbook is accessible in printed form for public inspection in the district office and in electronic form on the school district

website (southamptonschools.org > BOE tab > Policy Book). We encourage you to peruse the entire policy handbook, but we realize that some policies generate more interest or have more implications than others. We are, therefore, listing here selected key policies that

generate the most interest and questions (please reference the actual policy for full details):

For the protection of both students and staff, the district strongly advises that staff do not “friend” students on public networks, since lines of personal and professional boundaries are not as clear in social networking sites. Friending students on private or school-based networks for educational purposes is acceptable within the context of educational usage.
