Technology Resources 
This section details the specific responsibilities users must uphold when using YCS technology and network resources, focusing on safety, security, and resource management.
- Personal Safety and Privacy:
- Users must not share personal contact information (e.g., address, phone number, email) about themselves or others.
- Personal photos or work can only be published with a signed district release form.
- Users should not arrange to meet individuals met online without appropriate approval and must report inappropriate contacts to school authorities.
- Students under 18 must be supervised by a parent or guardian when accessing YCS accounts outside of school.
- Security:
- Users are responsible for securing their individual accounts and must not share passwords.
- Any security issues must be reported immediately to school authorities. Attempting to identify security flaws may be considered an illegal act.

- Respecting Resource Limits:
- The network is to be used solely for educational or career development activities.
- Downloading large files or streaming videos or music is prohibited unless approved by the YCS technology coordinator. Educational videos from specified platforms (e.g., Learn 360) are permitted.
- Users must not send chain letters or unnecessary messages or subscribe to irrelevant discussion groups.
- Teacher Responsibilities:
- Teachers must select age-appropriate and relevant materials for our scholars and preview content to ensure suitability.
- Internet access by students must be monitored by a teacher or staff member, with monitors visible or teachers circulating among computers in use.
