Board Policy 3.26, 4.6, & 5.9 - Technology Responsible Use. Access to the Internet is
monitored through our school's content filtering software, and all rules and expectations
are applied to the use of the device. Per LCS School Board policy, all applications, activity
and documents stored on the device are the property of Lexington City Schools and subject
to regular review and monitoring.
Important Information & Reminders
1. Keep your device with you or in a secured (locked) area at all times.
2. Report loss or theft immediately to your administrator. On all Apple devices, “Location
Services” must remain enabled at all times for purposes of device recovery in the event
of loss or theft. In the event a device is lost or stolen, and it is determined that
“Location Services” was disabled prior to loss or theft, the employee will assume
financial responsibility for the device based on the current market value.
3. Remember that your device is for educational purposes.
4. Follow the LCS Technology Responsible Use policy at all times (policy 3.26, 4.6, 5.9).
5. Upon resignation, all devices and peripherals should be turned in to the administrator
or media coordinator. Failure to do so will result in the cost of replacement to be
deducted from the employee’s final salary pay.
6. Do not modify the device in any way other than instructed by the administrator or
other school technology personnel.
7. Your password should be kept confidential at all times.
8. Do not apply any permanent marks, decorations, or modifications to the device.
Failure to comply with these guidelines are addressed specifically through Lexington City
Schools School Board Policy 3.26, 4.6, & 5.9 - Technology Responsible Use. These policies
can be found on the LCS Board of Education webpage by selecting Board Policies.
