• Define when they are allowed to use the
Personal Communication Devices, what
are they allowed to use it for, and what
are the consequences for misuse of the
devices?
• Layers of Authority – District Policy,

student the sole responsible party of
what they access within that device.

NETWORK ACESS TO TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES FROM
PERSONALLY-OWNED PERSONAL COMMUNICATION
DEVICES
7542 - NETWORK ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES FROM PERSONALLY-OWNED PERSONAL COMMUNICATION
DEVICES
For purposes of this policy, "communication devices" includes computers, tablets (e.g. iPad-like devices), electronic
readers (e.g. Kindle-like devices), cell phones, smartphones, and/or other web-enabled devices of any type.
The District provides both a guest network and business network. The business network is a secure network for the
conduct of official School Board business. Access to the business network requires prior approval and authorization by
the District. The guest network is CIPA-compliant non-secured network provided for use by students, parents, and other
visitors while on school property.
Only Board approved communication devices and authorized users may access the District's business network. Any
non-Board approved communication devices or non-authorized users must be pre-approved by the Superintendent or
designee.
Establishment, and subsequent enforcement of this policy is intended to minimize the potential exposure to the District
from damages, including, but not limited to, the loss of sensitive District data, illegal access to confidential data,
damage to the District's intellectual property, damage to the District's public image, and damage to the District's critical
internal systems, from unauthorized use.
The use of personally owned communication devices of any type must be consistent with the established standards for
appropriate use as defined in Policy 7540.03 - Student Network and Internet Acceptable Use and Safety and
Policy 7540.04 - Staff Network and Internet Acceptable Use and Safety.
Any user of the District's networks who violates this policy, who violates the District's Acceptable Use policy, or who
accesses the District’s technology resources (servers, networks, printers, projectors, et cetera) without authorization
may be denied access to the District's technology resources (server(s), networks, printers, projectors, et cetera) in the
future. If the violation is committed by a contractor, vendor or agent of the District, the contract may be subject to
cancellation. Further, anyone who accesses District technology resources that violates the District's Acceptable Use
policy may be subject to disciplinary action.
Further, the owner of communication device bears all responsibility and assumes all risk for loss, damage or misuse of
said property while it is on Board property. This provision applies, without limitation, to students, employees,
contractors, vendors, agents, invitees, visitors, and trespassers.

USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (1)

5136 - USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES
The use of personal communication devices (PCDs) on school grounds must be appropriately regulated to
protect students, staff, and the learning environment. This policy sets forth the District's policy with respect to
PCDs.
For purposes of this policy "personal communication device" includes computers, tablets (e.g. iPad-like
devices), electronic readers (Kindle-like devices), cell phones, smartphones, and/or other web-enabled
devices of any type.
Students may use personal communication devices (PCDs):

A) before and after school, during their lunch break, in between classes as long as they do not create a distraction,
disruption or otherwise interfere with the educational environment during after school activities (e.g. extra-curricular
activities) at school-related functions;

B) while riding to and from school on a school bus or other vehicle provided by the Board at the discretion of the bus
driver, classroom teacher and/or sponsor/advisor/coach. Behavior that distracts the driver of the school bus or other
vehicle provided by the Board will not be tolerated; and/or

C) for an educational or instructional purpose (e.g. taking notes, recording a class lecture, writing papers) with the
teacher’s permission and supervision. However, the non-instructional use of any communication functionality of the
PCD is expressly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, wireless Internet access, peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)
networking, or any other method of communication with other devices or networks. In no circumstances shall the device
be allowed to connect to the District’s business network.

USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (2)
At all other times, PCDs shall be powered completely off (not just placed into vibrate or silent mode) and stored out of sight.
PCDs shall not be in a student’s possession during State mandated testing.
Students may not use PCDs on school property or at a school-sponsored activity to access and/or view Internet web sites that are
otherwise blocked to students at school.
The preceding prohibitions do not apply to Board-owned and issued laptops, PDAs or authorized assistive technology devices.
Students are prohibited from using PCDs to capture, record or transmit the words (i.e. audio) and/or images (i.e., pictures/video)
of any student, staff member or other person in the school or while attending a school-related activity, without express prior
notice and explicit, written consent for the capture, recording or transmission of such words or images. Using a PCD to take or
transmit audio and/or pictures/video of an individual without his/her consent is considered an invasion of privacy and is not
permitted, unless authorized by the building principal. Students who violate this provision and/or use a PCD to violate the privacy
rights of another person may have their PCD confiscated and held until the end of the school year.
PCDs, including but not limited to those with cameras, may not be possessed, activated or utilized at any time in any school
situation where a reasonable expectation of personal privacy exists. These locations and circumstances include but are not limited
to locker rooms, shower facilities, restrooms, classrooms, and any other areas where students or others may change clothes or be
in any stage or degree of disrobing or changing clothes. The building principal has authority to make determinations as to other
specific locations and situations where possession of a PCD is absolutely prohibited.
No expectation of confidentiality will exist in the use of PCDs on school premises/property.
Students are prohibited from using a PCD in any way that might reasonably create in the mind of another person an impression of
being threatened, humiliated, harassed, embarrassed or intimidated. See Policy 5517.01 – Bullying and Harassment. In particular,
students are prohibited from using their PCDs to: (1) transmit material that is threatening, obscene, disruptive, or sexually explicit
or that can be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based upon their race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation,
age, disability, religion, or political beliefs; and (2) send, share, view or possess pictures, text messages, e-mails or other materials
of a sexual nature (i.e., sexting) in electronic or any other form. As set forth in State law, sexting is the knowing transmission or
distribution to another minor by a computer or similar device any photograph or video of any person that depicts nudity and is
harmful to minors. Sexting also includes possessing a photo of any person that was transmitted or distributed by another minor
that depicts nudity and is harmful to minors. Violation of these prohibitions shall result in disciplinary action. Furthermore, such
actions will be reported to local law enforcement and child services as required by law.
Students are also prohibited from using a PCD to capture and/or transmit test information or any other information in a manner
constituting fraud, theft, cheating, or academic dishonesty. Likewise, students are prohibited from using their PCDs to receive
such information.

USE OF PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES
(3)
Possession of a PCD by a student is a privilege that may be forfeited by any student who fails to abide by the terms of
this policy, or otherwise engages in misuse of this privilege.
Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action and/or confiscation of the PCD. The building principal may also
refer the matter to law enforcement if the violation involves an illegal activity (e.g. child pornography). Discipline will be
imposed on an escalating scale ranging from a warning to an expulsion based on the number of previous violations
and/or the nature of or circumstances surrounding a particular violation. If the PCD is confiscated, it will be
released/returned to the student's parent/guardian after the student complies with any other disciplinary
consequences that are imposed. In particular egregious offenses involving the invasion of another person's privacy, the
Board reserves the right to confiscate the PCD and hold it until the end of the school year. A confiscated device will be
marked in a removable manner with the student's name and held in a secure location in the building's central office
until it is retrieved by the parent/guardian. PCDs in District custody will not be searched or otherwise tampered with
unless school officials reasonably suspect that the search is required to discover evidence of a violation of the law or
other school rules. Any search will be conducted in accordance with Policy 5771 – Search and Seizure. If multiple
offenses occur, a student may lose his/her privilege to bring a PCD to school for a designated length of time or on a
permanent basis.
A person who discovers a student in possession of or using a PCD in violation of this policy is required to report the
violation to the building principal.
Students are personally and solely responsible for the care and security of their PCDs. The Board assumes no
responsibility for theft, loss, damage, or vandalism to PCDs brought onto its property, or the unauthorized use of such
devices.
Parents/Guardians are advised that the best way to get in touch with their child during the school day is by calling the
school office.
Students may use school phones to contact parents/guardians during the school day.

Digital Citizenship

Edmodo Code: 1pbsqy

• Know where the
devices are at all
times.

• Use the device and
use it often in your
instruction.

• Device must be used
in quick and short time
periods.

• Know your student
population – are you
sharing student
devices? Do you have
a plan?

Mobile Instructional Strategies
for Class Room
Strategy #1: Scales of Agreement
Students are often reluctant to share their opinions and perspectives in
classroom discussion. By having students vote on a poll with their cell phones,
as the results roll in they receive visual confirmation that their opinions are
shared by others in the class.
The “Scales of Agreement” strategy works well in the classroom as a method to
open up a classroom debate or to close a lesson. Instead of having students
respond to a question that has a correct answer, create the following question:

Question: How would you describe your perspective on this concept/topic/issue?
A: Completely Agree
B: Somewhat Agree
C: Somewhat Disagree
D: Completely Disagree

for Class Room
Strategy #2: Scales of Understanding
This questioning strategy is similar to the method described above.
However, this time change the language in the question to probe not for student
agreement, but understanding.

Question: How well do you understand the concept/topic/issue?
A: Completely Understand
B: Somewhat Understand
C: Do Not Clearly Understand
D: Completely Do Not Understand
