ADMINISTRATORS
Administrators are the school leaders and responsible for implementation of the Internet safety program in their school. The intent of most of the training is that it be incorporated into the curriculum and constantly brought to the students' attention throughout the school year whenever technology is being used.

Internet safety training has been divided into appropriate portions that are best taught by specific groups of people. In addition to covering the guidelines from the state listed below, administrators should:

  • ensure that the Technology portion of the Code of Conduct and the Acceptable Use Policy are taught to all students (please click on links below)
  • ensure that faculty members consistently implement and enforce the Code of Conduct and AUP in the classroom
  • be responsible for ensuring that Internet Safety training is carried out by all appropriate groups listed above
  • provide a program or PTA meeting on Internet Safety for parents and school community with follow-up (newsletters, principals coffees, blogs, podcasts, etc.)

Listed below are the portions of the state-required Internet safety training that administrators are asked to teach all students in their schools. Click on the links below to access materials and resources that will support administrators in teaching their portions of the state requirements.
