The Hall County Board of Education (HCBOE) recognizes that electronic media, including the Internet, provides access to a wide variety of instructional resources. Use of electronic resources must be in support of, and consistent with the vision, mission and goals established by the HCBOE and for the purpose of instructional support.

All users of the district wide area network and/or other electronic informational services must maintain strict compliance with all applicable ethical and legal rules and regulations regarding access.

The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure that all Hall County Schools (HCS) technology users share the HCS technology resources in an effective, efficient, ethical and lawful manner. HCS technology should be used for legitimate educational reasons only, and not for personal use.

All users of HCS technology resources and facilities must agree to and sign the terms of this acceptable use agreement.
