Acceptable Use Policy - What is it?
Acceptable Use Policy - What is it?
Acceptable Use Policy, or AUP, is a set of rules and regulations set forth by a committee of a network or server.
An AUP is a “living” document, which means that as technology changes, the document changes as needed.
Duxbury Public Schools has their own AUP that sets its main goal around the overall safety of their users.

FilteringFilteringDuxbury uses content filters that help block out
certain material, but it is important for parents and students to realize that NO filtering program is 100% safe.
As referenced in prior slide, CIPA basically states that schools and libraries need to protect students to the best of their abilities from inappropriate materials. Filtering is one way of fulfilling CIPA requirements.

As the Director of Technology, Gail Callahan, always says, “Think the front page of the Boston Globe.” In other words, if you wouldn’t want to read it on the front page of the Boston Globe, don’t write it!”
