Cumberland County Schools Office of Technology Acceptable Use Policy—Employees Cumberland County Schools has access to computers, networks, and the Internet. This technology is the most effective way we have found for introducing students to the global nature of information. It allows users to find, synthesize and share information in a variety of unique ways. The Internet has evolved because groups of individuals have chosen to network their computers in order to share information. A small minority has made objectionable materials available over the Internet. Cumberland County Schools will take every precaution to restrict access to this information. However, an industrious user may discover information not acceptable for school use. We firmly believe that the valuable information and interaction available on the Internet far outweigh the possibility that users may obtain unsuitable material. Disciplinary action will be taken against users found sending or acquiring objectionable material over the Internet or developing objectionable material on school equipment.
