The use of school computers, the computer network and their outside networks (e.g. the Internet) is a privilege and a service, not a right. Inappropriate use can result in a cancellation of those privileges for all involved parties. Based upon the unacceptable use of the system, the administrators may suspend or terminate usage. In serious violations, all access may be suspended even if course work is jeopardized. Furthermore, students and their parents/guardians are liable for any expenses incurred in the school district’s efforts to uncover or repair computer or software damages.
