4526 COMPUTER USE IN INSTRUCTION (or ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY)  The Board of Education is committed to optimizing student learning and teaching. The Board considers student access to a computer network, including the Internet, to be a powerful and valuable educational and research tool, and encourages the use of computers and computer-related technology in district classrooms for the purpose of advancing and promoting learning and teaching.

 

The computer network can provide a forum for learning various software applications and through online databases, bulletin boards and electronic mail, can significantly enhance educational experiences and provide statewide, national and global communication opportunities for staff and students.

 

 

The Board authorizes student use of personal devices to access the district’s network public network if the student complies with the district’s registration process, as well as the provisions of this policy and regulation. Failure to register or abide by this policy and regulation will result in revocation of access and possibility of access and possible disciplinary action in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

 

All users of the district's computer network and the Internet must understand that use is a privilege, not a right, and that use entails responsibility. The district reserves the right to control access to the Internet for all users of its computers and network. The district may either allow or prohibit certain kinds of online activity, or access to specific websites.

 

Regulations and handbooks, to be developed by the Leadership Team, in consultation with the appropriate staff, will provide specific guidance on this, as well as rules governing the use and security of the district's computer network. All users of the district's computer network and equipment shall comply with this policy and regulation. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action as well as suspension and/or revocation of computer access privileges.

 

The Superintendent shall be responsible for designating a technology director to oversee the use of district computer resources. The computer coordinator will prepare in-service programs for the training and development of district staff in computer skills, and for the incorporation of computer use in appropriate subject areas.

 

With increased concern about identity theft, unwarranted invasion of privacy and the need to protect personally identifiable information, prior to students being directed by staff to use any cloud-based educational software/application that requires personal identifiable information, staff must get approval from the technology director. The technology director will determine if a formal contract is required or if the terms of service are sufficient to address privacy and security requirements, and if parental permission is needed.

 

The Superintendent, working in conjunction with the designated purchasing agent for the district, the technology director and the building principal will be responsible for the purchase and distribution of computer software and hardware throughout district schools. They shall prepare and submit for the Board's approval a comprehensive multi-year technology plan which shall be revised as necessary to reflect changing technology and/or district needs.

5300.60 STUDENT SEARCHES AND INTERROGATIONS  

The Board of Education is committed to ensuring an atmosphere on school property and at school functions that is safe and orderly. To achieve this kind of environment, any school official authorized to impose a disciplinary penalty on a student may question a student about an alleged violation of law or the district code of conduct. Students are not entitled to any sort of "Miranda"-type warning before being questioned by school officials, nor are school officials required to contact a student's parent before questioning the student. However, school officials will tell all students why they are being questioned.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent of Schools, Building Principals, the school nurse and district security officials to conduct searches of students and their belongings, in most instances, with exceptions set forth below in A. and B., if the authorized school official has reasonable suspicion to believe that the search will result in evidence that the student violated the law or the district code of conduct.

An authorized school official may conduct a search of a student's belongings that is minimally intrusive, such as touching the outside of a book bag, without reasonable suspicion, so long as the school official has a legitimate reason for the very limited search.

An authorized school official may search a student or the student's belongings based upon information received from a reliable informant. Individuals, other than the district employees, will be considered reliable informants if they have previously supplied information that was accurate and verified, or they make an admission against their own interest, or they provide the same information that is received independently from other sources, or they appear to be credible and the information they are communicating relates to an immediate threat to safety. District employees will be considered reliable informants unless they are known to have previously supplied information that they knew was not accurate.

Before searching a student or the student's belongings, the authorized school official should attempt to get the student to admit that he or she possesses physical evidence that they violated the law or the district code, or get the student to voluntarily consent to the search. Searches will be limited to the extent necessary to locate the evidence sought.

Whenever practicable, searches will be conducted in the privacy of administrative offices and students will be present when their possessions are being searched.

A. Student Lockers, Desks and other School Storage Places

The rules in this code of conduct regarding searches of students and their belongings do not apply to student lockers, desks and other school storage places. Students have no reasonable expectation of privacy with respect to these places and school officials retain complete control over them. This means that student lockers, desks and other school storage places may be subject to search at any time

Page 50: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

by school officials, without prior notice to students and without their consent.

B. Strip searches A strip search is a search that requires a student to remove any or all of his or her clothing, other than an outer coat or jacket The Board of Education prohibits strip searches and direct administrators to contact law enforcement.

C. Treatment of Cell Phones Teachers and administrators are authorized to confiscate student cell phones that are being used in violation of the code of conduct and/or policy 5695, Student Use of Electronic Devices. Teachers and administrators are permitted to look at the screen of the cell phone and can request the student's cooperation to search the cell phone further. Without a student's permission, teachers and administrators should not undertake a more extensive search until conferring with the Superintendent or school attorney for guidance.

D. Documentation of Searches The authorized school official conducting the search shall be responsible for promptly recording the following information about each search:

1. Name, age and grade of student searched.

2. Reasons for the search.

3. Name of any informant(s).

4. Purpose of search (that is, what item(s) were being sought).

5. Type and scope of search.

6. Person conducting search and his or her title and position.

7. Witnesses, if any, to the search.

8. Time and location of search.

9. Results of search (that is, what items(s) were found).

10. Disposition of items found.

11. Time, manner and results of parental notification. The Principal or the Principal's designee shall be responsible for the custody, control and disposition of any illegal or dangerous item taken from a student. The Principal or his or her designee shall clearly label each item taken from the student and retain control of the item(s), until the item is turned over to the police. The Principal or his or her designee shall be responsible for personally delivering dangerous or illegal items to police authorities.

E. Police Involvement in Searches and Interrogations of Students District officials are committed to cooperating with police officials and other law enforcement authorities to maintain a safe school environment. Police officials, however, have limited authority to interview or search students in schools or at school

Page 51: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

functions, or to use school facilities in connection with police work. Police officials may enter school property or a school function to question or search a student or to conduct a formal investigation involving students only if they have:

1. A search or an arrest warrant; or

2. Probable cause to believe a crime has been committed on school property or at a school function.

Before police officials are permitted to question or search any student, the Principal or his or her designee shall first try to notify the student's parent to give the parent the opportunity to be present during the police questioning or search. If the student's parent cannot be contacted prior to the police questioning or search, the questioning or search shall not be conducted, unless the student is 16 years of age or older. The Principal or designee will also be present during any police questioning or search of a student on school property or at a school function.

Students who are questioned by police officials on school property or at a school function will be afforded the same rights they have outside the school. This means:

1. They must be informed of their legal rights.

2. They may remain silent if they so desire.

3. They may request the presence of an attorney.

F. Child Protective Services Investigations

Consistent with the district's commitment to keep students safe from harm and the obligation of school officials to report to child protective services when they have reasonable cause to suspect that a student has been abused or maltreated, the district will provide data and assistance to local child protective services workers who are responding to allegations of suspected child abuse, and/or neglect, or custody investigations. Such data and assistance includes access to records relevant to the investigation, as well as interviews with any child named as a victim in a report, or a sibling of that child, or a child residing in the same home as the victim. All requests by child protective services to interview a student on school property shall be made directly to Principal or his or her designee. Child protective service workers and any associated multi-disciplinary team members must comply with the district’s procedures for visitors, provide identification, and identify the child(ren) to be interviewed.

5500 STUDENT RECORDS  The Board of Education recognizes its legal responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of student records. As part of this responsibility, the Board will ensure that eligible students and parents/guardians have the right to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend education records and the right to have some control over the disclosure of information from the education record. The procedures for ensuring these rights shall be consistent with state and federal law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and its implementing regulations.

 

The Board also recognizes its responsibility to ensure the orderly retention and disposition of the district's student records in accordance with Schedule ED-1 as adopted by the Board in policy 1120.

 

The District will use reasonable methods to provide access to student educational records only to those authorized under the law and to authenticate the identity of the requestor. The district will document requests for and release of records, and retain the documentation in accordance with law. Furthermore, pursuant to Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2014, the district will execute agreements with third-party contractors who collect, process, store, organize, manage or analyze student personally identifiable information (PII) to ensure that the contractors comply with the law in using appropriate means to safeguard the data.

 

The Superintendent of Schools shall be responsible for ensuring that all requirements under law and the Commissioner's regulations are carried out by the district.

 

Definitions  

Authorized Representative: an authorized representative is any individual or entity designated by a State or local educational authority or a Federal agency headed by the Secretary, the Comptroller General or the Attorney General to carry out audits, evaluations, or enforcement or compliance activities relating to educational programs.

 

Education Record: means those records, in any format, directly related to the student and maintained by the district or by a party acting on behalf of the district, except:

 

(a) records in the sole possession of the individual who made it and not accessible or revealed to any other person except a substitute (e.g. memory joggers);

 

(b) records of the district's law enforcement unit;  

(c) grades on peer-graded papers before they are collected and recorded by a teacher.

 

Eligible student: a student who has reached the age of 18 or is attending postsecondary school.

Page 54: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

Legitimate educational interest: a school official has a legitimate educational interest if they need to review a student's record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities.

 

Personally identifiable information: is information that would allow a reasonable person in the school or its community, who does not have personal knowledge of the relevant circumstances, to identify the student with reasonable certainty. Such data might include social security number, student identification number, parents' name and/or address, a biometric record, date of birth, place of birth, etc.

 

School official: a person who has a legitimate education interest in a student record who is employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a member of the Board of Education; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as attorney, auditor, medical consultant or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks.

 

Third party contractor: is any person or entity, other than an educational agency, that receives student data or teacher or principal data from an educational agency pursuant to a contract or other written agreement for purposes of providing services to such educational agency, including but not limited to data management or storage services, conducting studies or audit or evaluation of publicly funded programs.

 

Annual Notification  

At the beginning of each school year, the district will publish a notification that informs parents, guardians and students currently in attendance of their rights under FERPA and New York State Law and the procedures for exercising those rights. A 'Parents' Bill of Rights for Data Privacy and Security' will be posted on the district website and included in any agreements with third-party contractors.(see 5500-E.4) The notice and 'Bill of Rights' may be published in a newspaper, handbook or other school bulletin or publication. The notice and 'Bill of Rights' will also be provided to parents, guardians, and students who enroll during the school year.

 

The notice and Parents' Bill of Rights will include a statement that the parent/guardian or eligible student has a right to:

 

1. inspect and review the student's education records;  

2. request that records be amended to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights;

Page 55: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

3. consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent; and

 

4. file a complaint with the United States Department of Education alleging failure of the district to comply with FERPA and its regulations; and/or file a complaint regarding a possible data breach by a third party contractor with the district and/or the New York State Education Department's Chief Privacy Officer for failure to comply with state law.

 

The annual notice and Parents' Bill of Rights will inform parents/guardians and students:  

1. that it is the district's policy to disclose personally identifiable information from student records, without consent, to other school officials within the district whom the district has determined to have legitimate educational interests. The notice will define 'school official' and 'legitimate educational interest.'

 

2. that, upon request, the district will disclose education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks to or intends to enroll or is actually enrolled.

 

3. that personally identifiable information will be released to third party authorized representatives for the purposes of educational program audit, evaluation, enforcement or compliance purposes.

 

4. that the district, at its discretion, releases directory information (see definition below) without prior consent, unless the parent/guardian or eligible student has exercised their right to prohibit release of the information without prior written consent. The district will not sell directory information.

 

5. that, upon request, the district will disclose a high school student's name, address and telephone number to military recruiters and institutions of higher learning unless the parent or secondary school student exercises their right to prohibit release of the information without prior written consent.

 

6. of the procedure for exercising the right to inspect, review and request amendment of student records.

 

7. that the district will provide information as a supplement to the 'Parents' Bill of Rights' about third parties with which the district contracts that use or have access to personally identifiable student data.

 

The district may also release student education records, or the personally identifiable information contained within, without consent, where permitted under federal law and regulation. For a complete list of exceptions to FERPA's prior consent requirements see accompanying regulation 5500-R, Section 5.

Page 56: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

The district shall effectively notify parents, guardians and students who have a primary or home language other than English.

 

In the absence of the parent or secondary school student exercising their right to opt out of the release of information to the military, the district is required to, under federal law, release the information indicated in number five (5) above.

 

Directory Information  

The district has the option under FERPA of designating certain categories of student information as "directory information." The Board directs that "directory information" include a student's:

 

• Name  

• E-mail address  

Social security numbers or other personally identifiable information will not be considered directory information.

 

Once the proper FERPA notification is given by the district, a parent/guardian or student will have 14 days to notify the district of any objections they have to any of the "directory information" designations. If no objection is received, the district may release this information without prior approval of the parent/guardian or student for the release. Once the student or parent/guardian provides the "opt-out," it will remain in effect after the student is no longer enrolled in the school district.

 

The district may elect to provide a single notice regarding both directory information and information disclosed to military recruiters and institutions of higher education.

8130 SCHOOL SAFETY PLANS AND TEAMS

Emergencies and violent incidents in schools are critical issues that must be addressed in an expeditious and effective manner. The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to adopt and keep current a comprehensive district wide school safety plan and building-level emergency response plan(s) which address violence prevention, crisis intervention, emergency response and management.

Taken together, the district-wide and building level plans shall provide a comprehensive approach to addressing school safety and violence prevention, and provide the structure where all individuals can fully understand their roles and responsibilities for promoting the safety of the entire school community. The plans shall be designed to prevent or minimize the effects of serious violent incidents and emergencies and to facilitate the district's coordination with local and county resources. The plans shall also address risk reduction/prevention, response and recovery with respect to a variety of types of emergencies and violent incidents in district schools.

In accordance with state law and regulation, the district shall have the following safety teams and plans to deal with violence prevention, crisis intervention and emergency response and management:

Comprehensive district-wide school safety team and plan The Board shall annually appoint a district-wide school safety team that includes, but is not be limited to, a representative from the following constituencies: the Board, students, teachers, administrators, and parent organizations, school safety personnel and other school personnel, law enforcement and fire department. This team shall be responsible for the development and annual review of the comprehensive district-wide school safety plan. The plan shall cover all district school buildings and shall address violence prevention (taking into consideration a range of programs and approaches that are designed to create a positive school climate and culture), crisis intervention, emergency response and management including communication protocols, at the district level. It shall include all those elements required by law and regulation.

The Board may also appoint a student representative to the district-wide school safety team. However, no confidential building-level emergency response plans shall be shared with the student member, nor shall the student member be present during discussion of any confidential building-level emergency response plans, or confidential portions of the district-wide emergency response strategy.

The Superintendent of Schools or his/ her designee s h all b e t h e district ’s chief emergency officer, and shall coordinate communication between school staff and law enforcement and first responders. The chief emergency officer shall ensure that all staff understand the district-wide school safety plan and receive training on the building-level emergency response plan, violence prevention and mental health, and shall also ensure

Page 59: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

that district-wide and building-level plans are completed, reviewed annually, and updated as needed by the designated dates. The chief emergency officer shall ensure that the district-wide plan is coordinated with the building-level plans, and shall ensure that required evacuation and lock-down drills are conducted.

Building-level safety team and emergency response plans Each Building Principal shall be responsible for annually appointing a building-level emergency response team that includes representation from teachers, administrators, parent organizations, school safety personnel, other school personnel, law enforcement officials, fire officials and other emergency response agencies. The emergency response team shall be responsible for the development and review of a building-level emergency response plan for each district building. The plan(s) shall address response emergency situations, such as those requiring evacuation, sheltering and lock-down at the building level and shall include all components required by law and regulation. These confidential plans shall include evacuation routes, shelter sites, medical needs, transportation and emergency notification of parents and guardians.

Building-level emergency response plans shall include protocols in response to carbon monoxide alarms or detection. Alarm or detection of carbon monoxide will result in the appropriate actions as described by the emergency response plan.

Building-level emergency response plans shall designate:

• an emergency response team for incidents that includes appropriate school personnel., law enforcement officials, fire officials, and representatives from local, regional and /or state emergency response agencies to assist the school community in responding to a violent incident or emergency; and

• a post-incident response team that includes appropriate school personnel, medical personnel, mental health counselors and other related personnel to assist the community in coping with the aftermath of a serious violent incident or emergency.

The Building Principal, in consultation with the Superintendent, shall annually designate a threat assessment team to provide ongoing support and information in order to identify, and assess individuals who may be potential threats to safety, with the intent of minimizing acts of violence in the school community. The threat assessment team shall be composed of, but not limited to, the following personnel from both within the school and the larger community, as appropriate: building administrators, legal counsel, school nurse, school counselors, local mental health and social service providers, law enforcement,

Page 60: GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION … · 2017-11-29 · GANANDA CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA July 12, 2017 - 7:00 p.m. Richard Mann Elementary

school resource officers, security personnel, and facilities and maintenance personnel. The team shall meet regularly. The team shall be mindful of the need for discretion and observance of confidentiality requirements.

Students shall be encouraged to bring their concerns to any district employee. If a district employee becomes aware of a threat to the school community, the Building Principal shall be informed and he/she will convene the threat assessment team. The Building Principal may request the participation of the following additional individuals who may have specific knowledge of the potential perpetrator: supervisors, teachers, students and parents. The Building Principal is responsible for keeping the Superintendent informed about the activities of the threat assessment team. Threat assessment team members shall receive appropriate training.

The Building Principal shall be responsible for conducting at least one test every school year of the emergency response procedures under this plan including procedures for sheltering and early dismissal.

To maintain security and in accordance with law, the building-level emergency response plan(s) shall be confidential and shall not be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Law or any other law.

Annual Review and Report All plans shall be reviewed and updated, if necessary, by the appropriate safety team by September 1 every year. In conducting the review, the teams shall consider any changes in organization, local conditions and other factors including an evaluation of the results of the annual test of the emergency response procedures which may necessitate updating of plans. If the plan requires no changes, then it shall remain in effect. If the district-wide plan requires change, then the updated plan shall be submitted to the Board of Education in time to allow 30-days of public comment and to hold a public hearing which provides for the participation of school personnel, students and other interested parties prior to Board adoption. If the building-level plan requires change, a summary of it will be made available for public comment and public hearing. All plans must be adopted by the Board of Education by September 1.

The Superintendent of Schools shall be responsible for filing the district-level school safety plan and any amendments to the plan with the Commissioner within 30 days after their adoption. The district-wide plan will be posted on the district's website. Each Building Principal shall be responsible for filing the building-level safety plan for his or her building and any amendments to the plan with the appropriate local law enforcement agency and the state police within 30 days after their adoption, but no later than October 15 of each year.
