Technology protection measures

SCSD2 uses filtering technology on all devices and networks used by students to block or filter access to visual depictions that are obscene, contain child pornography, or are harmful to minors. These measures are active during any school-supervised use of the internet.

Monitoring student internet activity

The district monitors the online activities of students when using district technology and networks. Monitoring is done to enforce this policy and to protect student safety.

Hacking and unlawful activities

Students are prohibited from engaging in unauthorized access, hacking, or any unlawful activities online while using district technology or networks. Violations may result in disciplinary action and may be referred to law enforcement.
