Bulloch County Student Internet Use Agreement
FOLLOW THE STUDENT INTERNET USE AGREEMENT!
Know the expectations of the Bulloch County Schools Student Internet Use Agreement! Find these policies on pp. 72-74 of the Bulloch County Schools Student Handbook, part of which states:
"You and your child’s signatures on this Student Handbook’s Affirmation Page indicate you have read the previously mentioned documents to which you are bound and by which your actions are governed if your child accesses the Internet at any time and under any circumstances as a student of Bulloch County Schools. To that end, Bulloch County Schools supports and respects each family’s right to deny Internet and/or Google Apps for Education access for their child. Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) may obtain a “Request to Deny Internet Access” form available in the principal’s office."
