Technology Policy Issues

It is the expectation that all students, teachers and administrators adhere to the policies outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy which states that technology must be used securely in a lawful and ethical manner for CCSD educational or business purposes. Each CCSD employee and student must sign the AUP yearly.

ISTE Standards

The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards address the social ethical, legal, and human issues associated with technology use in the classroom. South Carolina has adopted the ISTE NETS as the state technology standards.
