GCS Facebook Rules of Engagement
Guilford County Schools (GCS) uses to share important information with our public and engage in an open and respectful dialogue. To help us accomplish this goal, we ask that you abide by the following guidelines:
•Open conversation – not personal issues or complaints about students and/or school personnel. This page is not intended to circumvent regular communica
tion channels for sharing personal issues and concerns, including personnel matters and student concerns. Comments regarding a personal issue with the district, a school, student or a staff member will be removed.
•Be respectful. Personal attacks or comments that are deemed offensive to any member of our community will not be tolerated. Inappropriate remarks and profanity will be removed.
•Want to boost your product sales? Running for a political office? Publish a personal page, and leave ours for sharing news and insights about our district, schools and activities.
•Stay on topic. This is a page dedicated to the education of students of GCS. Let’s keep the conversation related to our district, schools and activities. Comments of all kinds are welcome so long as they directly relate to our district, schools and activities.
•Have a question for a specific employee? Contact them privately. Fans should not expect responses to every question or comment posted on this page.
•Be aware of the mission. The mission of GCS is education. Please be certain that your comments and posts are appropriate for an educational environment and fans of all ages.
•Be factual. Blatantly inaccurate information will not be allowed. False information will be removed and factual information will be posted.
•Employees of GCS may have personal pages. Don’t be surprised or offended if your request to “friend” them is ignored. District policy encourages staff to keep their personal lives personal.
•This page is yours and we want you to feel comfortable sharing your views about GCS, schools or activities. However, abuse of the above guidelines can lead to removal of a specific posting or the blocking/removal from our page.
