Social Media User Guidelines
Oak Harbor Public Schools welcomes open dialog and community input on our social media sites. Our page is a place where our students, families, communities, teachers, principals, staff, and supporters can come together around our school district and our mission. We simply ask that participants remain respectful. Because Oak Harbor Public Schools serve school-
aged children, content posted on social media by the district and commenters must use language, style, tone and content that is generally acceptable for school-aged children and families. Comments that do not illustrate civility, respect, and reasoned dialogue will be removed. Comments that exceed 100 words in length or sequential comments posted by a single user may also be removed due to space considerations and constraints. Additionally, the district reserves the right to remove comments and ban users using obscene or disrespectful language, sexual content, and comments or posts that threaten or defame any person or organization, violate the legal ownership interest of another party, support or oppose political candidates or ballot propositions, promote illegal activity, promote commercial services or products, are not topically related to the particular posting, include links to other files or sites, reveal or reference protected student information, contain contents that promote, foster, or perpetuate hate and/or discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, age, religion, gender, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, national origin, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation, or violate board policy or procedure. All content related to district business on this social media site is a public record, subject to retention and disclosure. The district does not express approval or support for the views expressed by third-parties. If you would like a private response to a post on this site, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Users are urged to contact schools or the district directly for timely responses to specific inquiries. A directory of district contacts is available on our website at www.ohsd.net.
