Tucson Unified School District provides electronic information services (EIS) to qualified students, teachers and other personnel who attend or who are employed by the District. Electronic information services include networks (e.g., LAN, WAN, Internet), databases, and any computer-accessible source of information, whether from hard drives, tapes, compact disks (CDs), floppy disks, or other electronic sources. The use of the services shall be in support of education, research, and the educational goals of the District. These resources are made available with the support and supervision of parents, teachers, and support staff.
To assure that the EIS is used in an appropriate manner and for the educational purposes intended, the District will require anyone who uses the EIS to follow its guidelines and procedures for appropriate use and abide by the policies and regulations of the District. Anyone who misuses, abuses, or chooses not to follow the EIS guidelines and procedures and District policies and regulations will be denied access to the District's EIS and may be subject to disciplinary action.
Each user will be required to sign an EIS user's agreement. The District may log the use of all systems and monitor all system utilization. Accounts may be closed and files may be deleted at any time. The District is not responsible for any service interruptions, changes, or consequences. The District reserves the right to establish rules and regulations as necessary for the efficient operation of the electronic information services.
The District does not assume liability for information retrieved via EIS, nor does it assume any liability for any information lost, damaged, or unavailable due to technical or other difficulties.
Filtering and Internet Safety
Tucson Unified School District has a content filtering program
system which places barriers to help prevent access to sites
that are deemed inappropriate (obscene, child pornography
or harmful to students) for our users. However, students may
still encounter material that is inappropriate or offensive.
It is the student's responsibility not to access this type
of information.
