K-12 Web Site Policies
We did a survey of the best K-12 web site policies across the nation and then categorized them for your use. Only question remaining - where is District 108's policy? Sorry - we don't have an official board policy related to the website yet. We only have a few guidelines related to student photographs and names.

District 108 School Web Site Rubric
Developed by District 108 to help indentify for our schools the characteristics and aspects that we are looking for in our school web sites. We ask 4 to 5 volunteers to assess the school sites using the rubrics and then provide the information to the school webmaster. In total, there are three sections of the rubric: content, usability, and design.
