For that purpose, the District will provide a content filter for D93 Net to protect students and teachers and to ensure compliance with CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act). During instructional and contract time, personal and district owned devices should only be used for the purposes of instruction and learning as directed by teachers and other official school business. Teachers are encouraged to include instruction in Internet safety, digital footprints, acquiring and evaluating the quality and veracity of online sources, and other skills necessary for students to safely and effectively use electronic information and communication.
