Acceptable Web Posting Policy

Phillipsburg School District encourages staff to create and post web pages to help inform students and the community about school and class activities and policies. The guidelines listed below explain the responsibilities and procedures to be followed by Phillipsburg School District staff when posting web pages.

Content

The District web site is for educational and school-related use and/or purposes. All other use is prohibited, including, but not limited to, the following examples:
- Commercial, political, religious or other personal interests or purposes
- Promotion of illegal activity
- Defamatory material
- Any material which violates copyright protection or the Phillipsburg School District Acceptable Use Policy

The web page publisher will review his/her web pages a minimum of once every quarter and will update or remove information as needed. Links to appropriate curriculum-related resources may be included on the pages. It is the responsibility of the web page publisher to review the links periodically to verify that they are still active and their content is appropriate.

All web pages must be free of spelling and grammatical errors except where original student work is to be displayed in original form.

All content is subject to district review. Web pages may require editing or removal at the direction of the Systems Manager or the building principal.

Individual Safety

Personally identifiable student information will not be posted unless prior signed consent has been obtained from the parent or legal guardian via the Internet Web Permission From. According to NJ Bill A592, "Personally identifiable information" means student names, student photos, student addresses, student e-mail addresses, student phone numbers, and locations and times of class trips.

When personally identifiable student information is posted on a web page, the Internet Administrative Consent Form must be completed and a copy forwarded to the Phillipsburg School District Technology Office.
6142.11(b)

A minimum of verbal permission is required before any personally identifiable information of a staff member may be posted on the web.
