Title
APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE THE REVISED SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 6.323 - STAFF SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES
Description
Policy 6.323 - District Related Social Media Accounts - 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
- Renames policy from 6.322 to 6.323 to not conflict with Policy 6.322 Staff Social Media Guidelines
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 October 2021.
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.
Strategic Plan Goal
Recommendation
That the advertisement of revised School Board Policy 6.323 - Staff Social Media Guidelines - be approved as presented.
