Off-Line Data Collection
All District Technology Resources (as defined in Bylaw 0100) are the Board's property and are intended to be used primarily for business purposes. The Board retains the right to access and review all Information Resources (as defined in Bylaw 0100), including but not limited to electronic and voice mail, computer files, data bases, and any other electronic transmissions contained in or used in conjunction with the Board's computer system/network, telephone system, electronic mail system, and voice mail system.

Review of such information may be done by the Board with or without the staff member's knowledge. The use of passwords does not guarantee confidentiality, and the Board retains the right to access information in spite of a password. A staff member's refusal to permit such access may be grounds for discipline up to and including discharge.
