Knox County Schools operates and maintains a website for the purpose of serving as a resource for students, staff, parents and community members. Every school should have a web page housed on the district website.
The district website and individual school pages are valuable communication tools that provide users access to the latest news and announcements, and important dates and information, and access to password protected portals.
All information must accurately reflect the mission, goals, policies, and activities of the district. The Director of Schools has the authority to require changes if the quality or propriety of appearance or content is called into question. Website content should be created to provide one of the following:
- Curriculum and instruction support – Provide relevant resources for students, parents, and staff in the district;
- Public information -- Communicate information about the district and schools to students, staff, parents, community and others; and
The Director of Schools shall develop administrative procedures for the development of web pages including content, quality and consistency standards and shall designate an individual(s) to be responsible for maintaining and monitoring the website activity. A school principal shall make such designation for individual school pages. All web pages shall comply with Section 504 and include an e-mail address and phone number for a designated department contact.
The Director of Schools and school principal, respectively, are ultimately responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of information made available on the website and school pages, and any concerns should be directed to those individuals. If the concern is not resolved, persons who wish to file a formal complaint shall submit a written request for reconsideration.
Web sites developed under contract for the school district or within the scope of employment by district employees are the property of the school district.
