grounds, during school hours, or during school related activities,
are bound by the terms of this Student Acceptable Use policy. Any

campus in a manner that causes or is likely to cause a substantial
disruption of a school activity or school attendance, shall be
subject to discipline in accordance with district policies and
regulations. If the student is using a social networking site or
service that has terms of use that prohibit posting of harmful
material, the director also may file a complaint with the Internet
