related to AUP

Where can I find a copy of our AUP?

Bexley’s AUP can be downloaded from

www.bexleyschools.org. Click on the departments link and select

technology.

Do I need to sign something related to our AUP?

No. There is nothing for you to sign. We virtually sign or agree to the AUP every time we log

into the system.

Can the district track and monitor my personal e-mails and

websites accessed at school?

Yes.

If the web filtering software blocks a site that I feel should

not be blocked, is there anything that I can do?

Yes. Contact the tech department to request that your website be

temporarily accessible. Typically, this takes 24 to 48 hours to unblock a website. The tech

department does not guarantee that your request can be met.

I need that website for today’s lesson! As an educator can I use

a proxy?

Teachers are not permitted to use a proxy.

Different teachers have different access rights. Can I lend my username and passcode to a

colleague or sign in under someone else’s account?

As stated in the AUP, neither is acceptable.

I’d like to play an audio or video file from my iPhone to project

onto the SMARTBoard. Can I do this?

Yes, but be careful when doing this. You are responsible for any content shown or reimbursement for any damage caused by your

personal electronic device.

Are my files, personal and work related, safe on the school

network?

Yes. All files are backed up that are stored on the network.

However, in the event that the school loses or destroys these files, they are not responsible.

Questions or comments?Remember, the AUP is

accessible at www.bexleyschools.org
