Re: Building Project Update - Asbestos Recommendation

The following is a listing of areas where additional asbestos was discovered in district facilities. These are new areas that were not originally identified on the contract drawings. A complete walk through of district facilities has been conducted, as per your directive. During the walk through, if an area had carpet, some of the carpet was pulled up to see what type of flooring or surface was underneath. All new found areas had samples taken and sent out to a lab to have testing done for confirmation. The following areas are being recommended to be included as part of the project:

High School

Room 1C & 3C (mastic under wood floor)

Ontario Elementary

1.	Room 129
2.	Cafeteria Store Room
3.	Rest rooms & closets in Rooms 113, 114, 115, 128

Ontario Primary

1.	Two PE equipment rooms
2.	Stage storage room
3.	Rest room entrance across from faculty room

Freewill Elementary

1.	Main Office Complex
2.	Area under handicap ramp
3.	Coaches offices - Room 67 & 68
4.	Cook Manager’s Office
5.	Custodian’s Office
6.	Library Storage - Room 57
7.	Exhaust pipe on generator in boiler room (insulation material)

In the areas listed above, abatement was already scheduled. To include these additional areas should not have a major impact on the project budget. The exception to this is the main office complex in Freewill. To include this area will add cost to the Freewill portion of the project budget. However, these additional costs will be offset by cost savings, determined as part of this walk through. The cafeteria in the high school, as well as C wing and E wing, were all originally slated for abatement as part of this project. Samples were taken, with the tests revealing that these area’s do not contain asbestos, so consequently no abatement is required. The square footage of these area’s will more than offset the areas being added. At this time we are conservatively projecting these recommendations to be cost neutral, and ask for your support to proceed and incorporate these changes in the final contract documents prior to bidding.

The areas listed below were also found to contain asbestos. These areas are all non-student occupied spaces. At this time, it is my recommendation that these areas be dealt with at a later date. It will be much more cost effective to deal with these areas when there is some renovation taking place in these areas:

High School

District office (includes board room)

Middle School

Lower level by elevator and in part of old district office area

Bus Garage

Parts room

Maintenance Building

1.	Rest room
2.	Office area

Please let me know if you have any questions, or require any further information.

Generally, the same standards of acceptable conduct that apply to any use of resources shall apply to computer systems. Use of these computer systems for materials protected by trade secret, any material in violation of state or federal law or threatening or obscene material is prohibited.

Staff or students who engage in unacceptable use may lose access to the system and be subject to further discipline under the law. Legal action may be initiated against a person who willfully, maliciously or unlawfully damages or destroys property of the district.

The superintendent of schools is authorized by the Board of Education to develop regulations for the implementation of this policy with staff and students. These regulations shall include guidelines related to the following:

* required training for staff and students in all aspects of the regulations and in procedures for computer use
* required training for staff and students in procedures for computer use
* appropriate uses of the computer network and the Internet
* the copyright laws regarding use of software

Acceptable Use Procedures For Staff Members

PURPOSE

The Wayne Central School District provides a wide range of computer resources to its students and staff for the purpose of advancing the educational mission of the district. These resources are provided and maintained at district, and public expense and are to be used by members of the school community with respect for the public trust through which they have been provided.

NETWORK & COMPUTER USE PROCEDURES

The Acceptable Use Procedures that are outlined in this document provide details regarding the appropriate and inappropriate use of district computers. The procedures do not attempt to articulate all required or proscribed behavior by users. Successful operation of the district’s computer network requires that all users conduct themselves in a responsible, decent, ethical, and polite manner while using district computers.

As the user, you are ultimately responsible for your actions in accessing and using district computer equipment and the district’s computer network. As a user of district computer equipment, you are expected to review and understand the guidelines and procedures in this document.

Scope

The following procedures apply to all staff members of the school district and cover all district computer equipment including any desktop or laptop computers provided to staff, the district-wide computer network, and any computer software licensed to the school district.

Appropriate Use

The school district expects everyone to exercise good judgment and use the computer equipment in a professional manner. Use of the equipment is expected to relate to the educational process such as reading, writing, and completing research and projects as assigned by your teachers. The district recognizes, however, that some personal use is inevitable, and permits incidental and occasional personal use that is infrequent or brief in duration so long as it does not interfere with district business, and is not otherwise prohibited by district policy or procedures.

Use of District Software

Software is licensed to the school district by a large number of vendors and may have specific license restrictions regarding copying or using a particular program. Some software licenses include installation on personal computers for home use.

Use of Non-District Software

Only district-owned licensed software may be installed on any district computer. The unauthorized use of and/or copying of software is illegal. However, a user will be able to load software onto a laptop that is used to access a personal Internet service for the purpose of remotely accessing the school district’s email network. All software must be legally licensed by the user prior to loading onto school district computer equipment. The unauthorized use of and/or copying of software is illegal. Staff member should check with tech support staff before installing any non-district software.

Remote Access: The school district provides remote access to its internal email network for the convenience of its staff. Users may access the school district’s email network over a standard Internet connection by using either a school-district owned laptop or a privately-owned computer.

Prohibited Uses

Presented for Second Reading by Board of Education, January 21, 2004

· Harassment: Harassment includes slurs, comments, jokes, innuendoes, unwelcome compliments, cartoons, pranks, or verbal conduct relating to an individual that

(1) have the purpose or effect of creating and intimidating, a hostile or offensive environment;
(2) have the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work or school performance, or
(3) interfere with school operations.

Inappropriate use includes any violation of the purpose and goal of the network. Indecent activities include violations of generally accepted social standards for use of publicly owned and operated equipment.

· Vandalism: Vandalism is any attempt to harm or destroy an operating system, application software, or data.

· Non-District Employee Use: Only school district employees or any others expressly allowed to use of school district computer equipment are authorized by the school district to use said equipment.

· Disruptive Use: Use of school district computers shall not interfere with or disrupt other users, services, or equipment (e.g. distribution of unsolicited advertising (Spam), propagation of computer viruses, distribution of large quantities of information that may overwhelm the system (i.e. chain letters, network games, or broadcasting messages), and any unauthorized access to or destruction of school district computer equipment or other resources accessible through the district’s computer network.

Privacy

Presented for Second Reading by Board of Education, January 21, 2004

By using school district equipment, users imply their consent to disclosing the contents of any files, documents or information maintained or passed-through said equipment. By using school district computer equipment, consent to monitoring and recording is implied, with or without cause, including, but not limited to, access to the Internet and using e-mail.
Policy of the Board of Education expressly prohibits the use of school district computer equipment for

(1) personal reasons such as downloading, viewing, storage, copying, or transmission of sexually explicit or sexually-oriented materials;
(2) privately purchasing, selling, advertising, or exchanging any goods or services in commerce; for advocating personal political, philosophical, or religious points of view.

Respecting the Privacy of Student Information

Personal information concerning students and their families stored or transmitted by electronic means, including information transmitted by e-mail, constitutes educational records protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Employees who store or transmit such information by electronic means should be aware of their responsibility to assure that such information is accurate, relevant, or necessary for valid educational reasons, and protected from disclosure, except with parental consent or without parental consent only as permitted by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Access Under the Freedom of Information Law

School employees and officials who use school district computer equipment to store or transmit any information should be aware that they may be creating records that are subject to public access under the Freedom of Information Law. Even though such information may never be printed or stored in any non-electronic format, and even though such information may be intended for internal use only in the development of final school district policies, decisions, or actions.

PROCEDURES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE NETWORK FILE SEARCH

Folders of staff members are scanned as needed by the district technology coordinator. Folders may be scanned for the following reasons:

1) Low network drive space
2) Reduce backup time
3) Virus cleanup
4) User requests for assistance from tech support staff members to find certain files

Regulation Approved: January …., 2004

Developed by Staff Committee; Presented by Policy Committee 8271.1 R
Entire Document Is New (Regulation) Page 5 of 8
Presented for Second Reading by Board of Education, January 21, 2004

File types searched for include but are not limited to *.jpg; *.gif; *.bmp; *.avi; *.mpg. Those files are searched because they are usually quite large and take up a substantial amount of disk space.

Non school-owned software is found by searching for *.exe. Sometimes other file extensions are searched when looking for something specific (e.g. a virus that will put *.eml files in every network folder.) Every file does not get opened because of time constraints. Search procedures require looking at file size and file name. If the file is large, the file will be opened to see if it could be related to curriculum. If the file has a questionable name, the file will also be opened.

Staff members with user accounts have their own individual folders. They have read/write/create permissions to their own folder. The building principal and/or the direct supervisor have read permissions to the folders of staff members. Staff members do not have permissions into folders of other staff members.

In the event of low disk space, large non-curriculum files are deleted immediately. Any file that is created as the result of a virus will also be deleted immediately. Other times, if disk space is not at a critically low level, the technology support staff will distribute a message by e-mail outlining required steps.

When a file is suspected of containing inappropriate material, a screen shot of the search window or a screen shot of the whole folder in question is captured to show where it was found and it is immediately reported to the building principal or immediate supervisor and the director of human resources.

Upon further instructions from the building principal or immediate supervisor, cleanup and scanning or removal of the classroom/office computer(s) that the staff member uses on a regular basis will take place immediately. If directed by administrative personnel, CD-ROMs will be burned or a tape backup created of offending items and will be given to them. The superintendent of schools and the president of the appropriate collective bargaining unit are also informed. Upon notice from administrative personnel, network login accounts will be disabled.

Discipline

The Acceptable Use Procedures are applicable to all users of school district computer equipment and refers to all information resources whether individually controlled, shared, stand alone, or networked. Disciplinary action, if any, for students, staff, and other users shall be consistent with the District’s standard policies and practices.

Developed by Staff Committee; Presented by Policy Committee 8271.1 R
Entire Document Is New (Regulation) Page 6 of 8

Presented for Second Reading by Board of Education, January 21, 2004

Violations may constitute cause for revocation of access privileges, suspension of access to school district computers, other school disciplinary action, suspension, and/or appropriate legal action. Specific disciplinary measures will be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the Student Technology Code of Conduct and Board of Education policies.

Any collective bargaining unit member or exempt employee who is charged with inappropriate use of school district computer equipment shall be entitled to all protections normally included under the collective bargaining agreement.

Care for District Computers

Users of school district computer equipment are expected to respect the school district property and to act in a responsible manner while using the equipment. Students are to follow any instructions by the school district regarding maintenance or care of the equipment. Students may be held responsible for any damage caused by their intentional or negligent acts in caring for school district computer equipment under their control.

The school district is responsible for any routine maintenance or standard repairs to school district computer equipment. Users are expected to notify a teacher or adult supervisor of any need for service when necessary.

Staff members are not to delete or add software to school district computer equipment. Due to differing licensing terms for different software programs, it is not valid to assume that permission to copy one program applies to other programs.

When district-owned equipment is checked out, the user assumes responsibility for damage or loss while equipment is in their care. Users should make every effort to safeguard equipment from damage or loss. Any loss or damage to district-owned equipment must be reported to the district business office by the building principal or immediate supervisor immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR WISE USE OF E-MAIL

· Email encourages informal communication because it is easy to use. However, unlike a telephone call, email creates a permanent record that is archived and can be transmitted to others. Remember that even when you delete an email from your mailbox, it still may exist in the system for some period of time.

· Be circumspect about what you send and to whom. Do not say anything in an email that you would not want to see republished throughout the school district, in Internet email, or on the front page of the newspaper. Remember that email invites sharing; a push of the button will re-send your message worldwide, if any recipient (or hacker) decides to do so. What you say can be republished and stored by others.

· Beware of the "Reply to All" button. Is the message really appropriate for or should it really take the time of everyone on the address list? Often your message only needs to be returned to one individual.

· You can create liability for yourself and the school district. You may violate applicable laws and school district policy, for example, whether within or outside the district, if you "publish" by typing or re-sending words that defame another individual or disparage another individual or institution, if you upload or download or re-send copyrighted or pornographic material, if you use email to harass or discriminate against someone, or if you send private information or data about someone. Make sure none of your activities violate any law or policy.

· Please keep in mind that because of possible server problems or other potential delays, Internet email can sometimes take anywhere from five minutes to several days to arrive. It may not be the best means to send time-sensitive information.

· Finally, beware of sending attachments. They may arrive garbled if the recipient is using a different email system. Email attachments can introduce viruses into the school district email system, and you can introduce a virus into a recipient’s system, by forwarding an infected attachment. This is especially likely if the attachment arrives from an unknown source via the Internet.

If you do not know the sender of Internet email, delete the message. While that should prevent activating a virus, it will not stop certain other infections (e.g., a logic bomb). Please do not open attached files ending in “exe,” “bat,” or “com,” as these files may be viruses or programs designed to delete data from the computer.

GUIDELINES FOR WISE USE OF THE INTERNET

Using the Internet Access Wisely

· Be circumspect about where you go and what you do. Do not visit any site or download or share any material that might cause anyone to question your professionalism or that of the school district.

· Read the “License" or "Legal" contract terms on every site. Do not purport to bind the school district to any license or other contract. If you make an agreement on your own behalf, do not violate that agreement using the school district computer equipment or Internet account.

· Do not assume that just because something is on the Internet, you may copy it. As a general rule, assume that everything is copyrighted and do not copy it unless there is a notice on the site stating that you may do so. For example, if you see a clever cartoon, assume that you may not copy it. Governmental documents are an exception and you may copy them but you must confirm that it is the "government" and not a government-related entity such as the United States Postal Service.

· Be aware of the "do you want a cookie?" messages if you have configured your browser to receive such messages. If you answer yes, whatever activity in the site owner to help it will log which you are engaged or its advertisers develop a profile about you or the school district. It is possible that your browser is set to accept cookies without asking you each time. Contact the technology support staff for clarification.

· Make sure none of your activities violate any law or policy. You can create liability for yourself and the school district. For example, you may violate applicable laws or school district policy. if you

(1) "publish" by typing or re-sending words that defame or disparage another individual or institution,
(2) upload or download or re-send copyrighted or pornographic material,
(3) use the Internet to harass or discriminate against someone,
(4) provide private information or data about someone

· Do not engage in any "spamming" or other activities that could clog or congest Internet networks.

PROCEDURES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE NETWORK FILE SEARCH

Student folders are scanned as needed by the district technology coordinator. Folders may be scanned for the following reasons:

1) Low network drive space
2) Reduce backup time
3) Virus cleanup
4) User requests for assistance from tech support staff members to find certain files

File types searched for include but are not limited to *.jpg; *.gif; *.bmp; *.avi; *.mpg. Those files are searched because they are usually quite large and take up a substantial amount of disk space.

Non school-owned software is found by searching for *.exe. Sometimes other file extensions are searched when looking for something specific (e.g. a virus that will put *.eml files in every network folder.) Every file does not get opened because of time constraints. Search procedures require looking at file size and file name. If the file is large, the file will be opened to see if it could be related to curriculum. If the file has a questionable name, the file will also be opened.

Students in grades 6-12 have their own personal student folder on the district’s computer network. Each student has read/write/create permission to his or her own folder. Building principals and teachers in their respective buildings have read permissions into the individual student folders. Students cannot get into other student folders without knowing another student’s password.

In the event of low disk space, large non-curriculum files are deleted immediately. Any file that is created as the result of a virus will also be deleted immediately. Other times, if disk space is not at a critically low level, the technology support staff will distribute a message by e-mail outlining required steps.

When a file is suspected of containing inappropriate material, a screen shot of the search window or a screen shot of the whole folder in question is captured to show where it was found and it is immediately reported to the building principal. Upon further instructions from the building principal, cleanup and scanning or removal of the computer(s) that the student uses on a regular basis will take place immediately.

If directed by administrative personnel, CD-ROMS will be burned or a tape backup created of offending items and will be given to them. Upon notice from administrative personnel, network login accounts will be disabled.

Discipline

The Appropriate Use Procedures are applicable to all users of school district computer equipment and refers to all information resources whether individually controlled, shared, stand alone, or networked. Disciplinary action, if any, for students, staff, and other users shall be consistent with the District’s standard policies and practices.

Violations may constitute cause for revocation of access privileges, suspension of access to school district computers, other school disciplinary action, suspension, and/or appropriate legal action. Specific disciplinary measures will be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the Student Technology Code of Conduct and Board of Education policies.

Care for District Computers

Users of school district computer equipment are expected to respect the school district property and to act in a responsible manner while using the equipment. Students are to follow any instructions by the school district regarding maintenance or care of the equipment. Students may be held responsible for any damage caused by their intentional or negligent acts in caring for school district computer equipment under their control.

The school district is responsible for any routine maintenance or standard repairs to school district computer equipment. Users are expected to notify a teacher or adult supervisor of any need for service when necessary.

Students are not to delete or add software to school district computer equipment. Due to differing licensing terms for different software programs, it is not valid to assume that permission to copy one program applies to other programs.

When district-owned equipment is checked out, the user assumes responsibility for damage or loss while equipment is in their care. Users should make every effort to safeguard equipment from damage or loss. Any loss or damage to district-owned equipment must be reported to the district business office by the building principal immediately.

GUIDELINES FOR WISE USE OF THE INTERNET

Using the Internet Access Wisely

· Be circumspect about where you go and what you do. Do not visit any site or download or share any material that might cause anyone to question your professionalism or that of the school district.

· Read the “License" or "Legal" contract terms on every site. Do not purport to bind the school district to any license or other contract. If you make an agreement on your own behalf, do not violate that agreement using the school district computer equipment or Internet account.

· Do not assume that just because something is on the Internet, you may copy it. As a general rule, assume that everything is copyrighted and do not copy it unless there is a notice on the site stating that you may do so. For example, if you see a clever cartoon, assume that you may not copy it. Governmental documents are an exception and you may copy them but you must confirm that it is the "government" and not a government-related entity such as the United States Postal Service.

· Be aware of the "do you want a cookie?" messages if you have configured your browser to receive such messages. If you answer yes, whatever activity in the site owner to help it will log which you are engaged or its advertisers develop a profile about you or the school district. It is possible that your browser is set to accept cookies without asking you each time. Contact the technology support staff for clarification.

· Make sure none of your activities violate any law or policy. You can create liability for yourself and the school district. For example, you may violate applicable laws or school district policy. if you

(1) "publish" by typing or re-sending words that defame or disparage another individual or institution,
(2) upload or download or re-send copyrighted or pornographic material,
(3) use the Internet to harass or discriminate against someone,
(4) provide private information or data about someone

· Do not engage in any "spamming" or other activities that could clog or congest Internet networks.

Internet Content Filtering & Security

(The Children's Internet Protection Act)

Computer and Internet Use Agreement For Students in Grades K to 5

Traveling on the Internet is a lot like going to a big city:

· There are many wonderful and exciting places that I can visit, like museums, art galleries, zoos, and hospitals, but there are also place that I should not visit.
· I will never give my name, address, or telephone number to anyone because people that I do not know use the names that I meet on the Internet.
· The school has chosen web sites that are good for me to see. They are bookmarked so that I cannot go to any inappropriate sites.
· I will back out, and tell my teacher right away, if I come across anything that is inappropriate. I should not invite other students to come to see it, but back out and tell a teacher.

The computer and the Internet are there to help me with my learning, just like the books, assemblies, and videos that the teachers share with me at school.

· I will not copy things to include in my papers unless I give credit to the author and/or web site.
· I will share the computer with others and be willing to give up my seat if someone else needs a turn.

It is up to the school to decide how the computer is set up and what software programs should be used to help me learn.

· I will not install software that I bring in from home because this could break the law.
· I will not change the way the computer is set up to run.

Email gives me a chance to communicate with many people, but there are rules I must follow:

· I will always use proper and appropriate language.
· I will only identify myself by first name.
· I will never use a chat room or TALK session unless an adult is with me.

Penalty for Misuse:

I understand that if I break any of these rules, I may lose the privilege of using the computers and/or Internet.

Establishment of Meeting Date

Section 807-a of the Education Law requires that a meeting be held among the board of education, the fire inspector, and the local fire chief when any violations are noted during the annual fire safety inspection. During the meeting between the board of education and the fire officials, Part 155.4 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education requires that a plan for correcting all violations must be approved. A plan must be approved for each facility. Plans are not required in those instances where violations are corrected either before the meeting or prior to submission of the reports to the State Education Department. The fact that the violation has been corrected does not relieve the board of education from its obligation to convene the meeting.

Recommend that the board of education include as an agenda item for their regular meeting to be held on January 21, 2004, a discussion with fire officials for the purpose of developing plans to correct violations as noted during the fire safety inspection. If the fire safety inspection results do not reveal violations, this discussion can be cancelled.

The school district must file a Fire Safety Report for each building it owns, uses, or leases. Each report requires three (3) signatures to serve as certification that the fire safety inspection was conducted, that the information reported is an accurate description of the building and the conditions observed, that public notice of report availability has been published, and that any non-conformances noted as corrected were corrected as of the date indicated. The three required signatures are those of the fire inspector, a building designee, and the school superintendent.
