[K12OSN] OT: what are your usage and Web publishing policies?

[Paul VanGundy]

Matt,

Our teachers don't have teacher pages or class webpages. Our district
website is strictly for informational purposes on what the district is
doing and what each school is doing (events, announcements, etc.). Our
teachers communicate information with parents and students through
PowerSchool.

-Paul
