The following
K-12 School Districts are using a web policy as their
major tool for guiding district web publishing. In most
cases, these districts also have an Acceptable Use Policy,
however, their AUP's do not address publishing of information
via the web. In addition, most of the districts in this
category do not have a standardized release form that
is used for parental permission related to the posting
of student names, photos, or work.
