Lyons Central School District
Web Page Standards
 

The availability of Internet access in the Lyons Central School District provides an opportunity for students and staff to contribute to the school district’s presence on the World Wide Web. These Web sites provide information to the world about school curriculum, instruction, school-authorized activities, and other general information relating to our schools and LCSD’s mission. Lyons Technology Committee provides Internet access for the creation of web pages. Creators of Web pages must familiarize themselves with and adhere to the following standards and responsibilities. Failure to follow these standards or responsibilities may result in the loss of authoring privileges or other more stringent disciplinary measures.
Approval for posting a page must be obtained from the Technology Coordinator. If at any time the principal, district technology coordinator, or any central office administrator feels the site does not meet the standards approved by the district, the site will lose its district privileges.

Consistency of Web pages:

 


¨   Web pages may not contain any student e-mail address links, any survey-response links, or any other type of direct-response links.
¨   Credits for photographs must be given if a professional photographer does photography.
¨   Every reasonable attempt must be made to ensure that web pages are educationally sound and do not contain links to any questionable material or anything that can be deemed in violation of the Lyons Central School District policy.
¨   Student work may not be published without signed parental consent.
¨   Concern about the content of any page(s) created by students or staff should be directed to the building principal of that school.
¨   Given the rapid change in technology, some of the technical recommendations outlined in these standards may require change throughout the year. The District Technology Committee will make such changes with approval of the Technology Coordinator. These Web Page standards will be updated on an annual basis, or more frequently if required.
¨   Personal pages or links to personal pages cannot be linked to the district site.
¨   Advertising for businesses cannot be part of the district site.
 
Example: Every reasonable attempt has been made to ensure that our web pages are educationally sound and do not contain links to any questionable material or anything that can be deemed in violation of the Lyons Central School District Web Page Standards Policy.
