1. The purpose of this decision tool is to enable a process of identifying key areas of knowledge gathering, communication, and points of
guidance to address any major issues of online violation that both inhibit and compromise the safety and security of the school environment.
The tool is designed to gather role based essential questions that will address:
o The safety and security of the school community,
o The ongoing compliance to state and federal law,
o The sustainability of emerging online technologies that foster enhanced learning,
o The appropriate and timely communication (escalation process) of any issues or occurrences of online violation, and
o The assurance that adhering policies and guidelines are properly designed and revised in order to protect and enable continuity of
online learning.
The School Climate Team will use this table and corresponding worksheets to build essential questions to address the online issue.
