The District is not responsible for the content of external online platforms. The views and comments expressed on the site are those of the users and do not necessarily reflect the views of the District. A user's reference to a specific commercial product or service does not imply endorsement or recommendation of that product or service by the District.

The District regularly monitors this page and reserves the right to remove any inappropriate posts/comments promptly, including the following posts/comments that:

• may be considered obscene, libelous, defamatory, hostile, and/or threatening
• may infringe on copyrights or trademarks

• may not be related to the stated purpose of the site, including, but not limited to, comments of a commercial or political nature, discrimination, or harassment
• may advocate illegal activity
• may consist of spam or links to other sites

The District reserves the right to remove members who post material that falls into the categories listed above. Please be aware that your comments are public and may be used by other individuals and entities, including the news media.

District employees who participate in official District social media platforms shall adhere to all applicable District policies and procedures, including but not limited to, professional standards related to interactions with students. When appropriate, employees using official District social media platforms shall identify themselves by name and District title, and include a disclaimer stating the views and opinions expressed in their posts are theirs alone and do not necessarily represent those of the District or school.
