K-12 Web
Policy
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.
