resources and the opportunity for collaborative work. The use of your

with the educational objectives of the Exemplary School District. Use
of other organization's network or computing resources must comply
with the rules appropriate for that network. Transmission of any
material in violation of any US or state regulation is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, threatening or
obscene material, or material protected by trade secret. Use for
commercial activities is generally not acceptable. Use for product
advertisement or political lobbying is also prohibited.

right, and
inappropriate use will result in a cancellation of those privileges.
(Each student who receives an account will be part of a discussion
with a
Exemplary School District faculty member pertaining to the proper use
of the network.) The system administrators will deem what is
inappropriate use and their decision is final. Also, the system
administrators may close an account at any time as required. The
administration, faculty, and staff of Exemplary School District may
request the system administrator to deny, revoke, or suspend specific
user accounts.

accepted rules of network etiquette. These include (but are not limited
to) the following:
- Be polite. Do not get abusive in your messages to others.
- Use appropriate language. Do not swear, use vulgarities or any other inappropriate language. Illegal activities are strictly forbidden.
- Do not reveal your personal address or phone numbers of students or colleagues.

obtained via the Internet is at your own risk. Exemplary School
District specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or
quality of information obtained through its services.
5) Security - Security on any computer system is a high priority,
especially when the system involves many users. If you feel you can
identify a security problem on the Internet, you must notify a system
administrator or your District Internet Coordinator. Do not
demonstrate the problem to other users. Do not use another
individual's account without written permission from that individual.
Attempts to logon to the Internet as a system administrator will result
in cancellation of user privileges. Any user identified as a security
risk or having a history of problems with other computer systems may
be denied access to Internet.
6) Vandalism - Vandalism will result in cancellation of privileges.
Vandalism is defined as any malicious attempt to harm or destroy data
of another user, Internet, or any of the above listed agencies or other
