*Cyber-bullying- Harassment and bullying of a person, or people, using technology.

//POLCYRK815//. York: Central York School District, 21 Mar. 2011. PDF.

*The CYSD AUP talks about how technology is a privilege not a right and talks about what is expected of the students when using technology, on the internet and off. *It states the different punishments and types of cyberbullying and explains the districts expectations. *It talks about the privileges and rights of students and the school district and mentions how the school isn't responsible for damage to the technology. * It states the authority that the school has over what the technology. * It lists and explains the content that the school board finds inappropriate, in addition to those that are illegal, for minors *Everyone must follow this policy.

*I think that the points that should be kept in the AUP are: *Internet safety measures will be taken if necessary. *Students shall not participate in child pornography or things harmful to minors. *The students are not to be involved in anything obscene, threatening, profane, or anything that can be defined as bullying. *If needed, school districts can log and minor a students internet activities. * Nothing can be used for illegal reasons. *Nothing done in school or over the school internet can be for a profit. * The internet can not be used for political or to create a virus.

<span style="color: #1d76a5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*What disciplinary actions I think should be taken <span style="color: #1d76a5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*Students should lose their technology privileges. <span style="color: #1d76a5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*Students would be monitored constantly with their internet usage. <span style="color: #1d76a5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">* Students would pay for all costs and damages. <span style="color: #1d76a5; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">*Student could be suspended or expelled depending on the severity of their actions.
