Network Use/Access Agreement
Paschal Sherman Indian School is pleased to offer its employees access to
the School’s computer network, which includes word processing, electronic mail,
and Internet services. The School’s
network should be used primarily for work related and educational
purposes. All information and
services contained on School computers are placed there solely for job
related functions. Access to the network
is a privilege-not a right- and it may be revoked by the School at any time.
The School has the right to review any material stored in
the PSIS network system. The
School also has the right to edit or remove any materials installed, used,
stored, or distributed on or through the School’s network or system. Files stored of materials accessed through
the network are not private.
The
School does not warrant the functions of the Internet service or that any of
the networks accessible through the Internet service will meet any specific
requirements an employee may have or that the Internet service will be error
free or uninterrupted. Nor shall the
School or any Coordinators be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages sustained or incurred in connection with the use, operation,
or inability to use the network.
The
following conduct is prohibited on the School network:
1.
Transmitting or accessing obscene, pornographic, graphically violent,
or sexually inappropriate material or pictures.
2.
Using obscene, graphically violent, or sexually inappropriate language.
3.
Engaging in practices that may harm or destroy data on any system or on
the network or disrupt the operation of the network.
4.
Installing, storing, or distributing copyrighted software or materials
in violation of copyright law.
5.
Supporting or opposing a political candidate, an election campaign, or
a ballot proposition.
6.
Unauthorized use of another person’s password.
7.
Transmitting or accessing material that discriminates against,
harasses, defames, offends, or insults another person, which includes sending
or receiving sexually explicit, racial, or gender inappropriate jokes or
messages.
8.
Using the network to violate School policies.
9.
Encrypting communications to avoid School review.
10. Intentional and unauthorized
access in another person’s folders or work files.
11. Using the network or Internet
for illegal activities.
12. Unauthorized personnel
monitoring the network with hardware or software.
The
above list is not exclusive and the School is the sole arbiter of what
conduct is inappropriate and thus prohibited on the network. A network Coordinator will report
inappropriate conduct to an employee’s supervisor so that appropriate
disciplinary action may be taken. Any
other reports of inappropriate behavior, violations, or complaints will be
routed to the employee’s supervisor so that appropriate disciplinary action may
be taken. Engaging in prohibited or
inappropriate conduct may result in the loss of access to the network as well
as other disciplinary action up to and including termination of
employment. When applicable, law
enforcement agencies, may be involved.
In
consideration for the privilege of using the School’s network or other computer
services, I grant the School permission to monitor my activities on the network
and I hereby waive any right to privacy, which I may otherwise have in such
materials. I have also read and
understand the above Network Use/Access Agreement. I acknowledge and agree to all the conditions
set forth in this document.
