Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Cabarrus County Schools/Employee AUP PDF (Employee)
Access to the Internet: Introduction As part of Cabarrus County Schools Instructional Technology Program, based on the State of North Carolina Standard Course of Study, we offer our students and staff access to the Internet. The Internet provides the opportunities to reach out to experts, share information, explore concepts, and research topics. Various projects have proven the educational benefits of Internet access.
Access to the Internet: Purpose Access to the Internet will allow staff to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and other informational sites. While our intent is to make Internet access available to further educational goals and objectives, staff may find ways to access other materials as well. Although Internet use is available in our schools and there is a content checking/ blocking filtering system in place, staff should be aware that some sites may contain material that is potentially offensive. Because we do not control all of the material available on the Internet, it is extremely important that employees understand and follow all Cabarrus County Schools' policies and guidelines. Any user violating policies and guidelines may relinquish rights to the resources or result in disciplinary actions.
