It is the policy of the Seattle School Board that, as a condition of students having access to the Internet, students shall accept the district’s “Network Use Agreement,” which outlines standards for appropriate use. Acceptance of the Network Use Agreement shall be electronic or by paper at the district’s discretion.  

This agreement includes access to the district’s network and access to the Internet. Parents/guardians shall have the choice of “opting out” of Internet access if they do not wish their student to have access to the Internet.  

While the Network Use Agreement outlines standards for appropriate use, the district cannot control the content of material to which students may be exposed on Seattle Schools’ networks. Acceptance of the Network Use Agreement terms is applicable to any access of the district’s network, regardless of access point.
