Title
APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE THE REVISED SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 5.381 - STUDENT SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

Description

Policy 5.381 - Student Social Media Guidelines - has been revised with the following changes:

  • New language in each policy prohibits use of TikTok, or other apps on the Prohibited List from FL Dept of Management Services from use or access on district devices or district internet connection
  •  Provides exceptions for designated personnel and law enforcement as allowed by law


Gap Analysis

These policy revisions have been made to comply with state law and FL Department of Education rules.



Previous Outcomes 

This policy was previously revised and adopted as Board Policy in August, 2019



Expected Outcomes 

This item needs to be noticed for 28 days after this first agenda inclusion. At the next scheduled regular board meeting after that period, the item will be brought back for adoption into School Board Policy. Upon adoption of this policy, appropriate corresponding updates will be made to district procedures and manuals to align with the changes, including the previously approved Code of Student Conduct.
