If no problems have arisen

in your district, consider

yourself lucky.

There’s a growing trend

of social media problems,

lawsuits, and media

frenzy.

Federal Law• Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

– Governs use and dissemination of student education records and personallyidentifiable information

• Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA)– Provides parents certain rights regarding conduct of surveys and collection and

use of student information for marketing purposes

– Requires notice and opt out

• Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)– Governs online collection of personal information from children under 13

– Requires parental consent and opt out

Children’s Internet Protection Act

• Districts must certify compliance with CIPA when

applying for E-Rate funding

• Requires development and enforcement of an

Internet Safety Policy

• CIPA - https://goo.gl/6lSQbV

#tcea16

Page 23: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

CIPA RequirementsInternet Safety Policy must provide for (among other things):

• Monitoring the online activities of minors

• Implementing technology protection measures that protect

against access by adults and minors to visual depictions that are

obscene, child pornography or, with respect to use of computers

with Internet access by minors, harmful to minors (i.e., block or

filter access)

• Educating minors about appropriate online behavior, including

interacting with other individuals on social networking websites

and in chat rooms, cyberbullying awareness, and response

#tcea16

Page 24: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

CIPA Best Practices

• Encourage use of separate District/professional accounts

• Appoint administrator to join groups (e.g., Like, Follow), or

otherwise monitor

• Train employees on proper use

– Cyberbullying

– Appropriate content

• Inform parents about social media use and accounts

a

Reasonable SuspicionIn general, when a school has a reasonable suspicion that a

student has broken the law or school rules, it has the right to

search a student’s personal belongings on school grounds.

Unfortunately, there is no clear definition

of what constitutes “reasonable suspicion,”

so school officials should tread carefully

before searching a student’s personal

digital devices and social media accounts.

#tcea16

Page 32: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

Key Points about Search & Seizure

Students shall be free from unreasonable search and seizure

by school officials.

Reasonable cause or voluntary consent

A reasonable search is one that is justified at the inception

with reasonable grounds for suspicion and scope of search is

reasonably related to the documentation that justified the

search.

#tcea16

Page 33: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

Don’t Violate Constitutional Rights

• Avoid requesting access to, or

otherwise attempting to control,

students’ or employees’ personal

accounts

• Do not search students’ cell phones

without reasonable suspicion

#tcea16

Page 34: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

It Could Be Costly

• In 2010, a Pennsylvania school district paid $33,000 to

settle a case in which a high school student’s cell phone

was confiscated and unconstitutionally searched.

• A Minnesota school district paid $70,000

in 2014 to settle a federal lawsuit in which

the school district threatened a sixth grade

student until she gave her school access

to her personal e-mail and social media

accounts.

#tcea16

Page 35: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

Substantial Disruption

• It is something that disrupts the school community as a

whole.

• It is something that more than minimally detracts from

instructional time.

• It is something that becomes all-consuming for school

administrators to deal with.

• It is something that significantly interferes with the

administration’s ability to maintain discipline in the school.

What About District Employees?• The number of people fired over social media posts is

increasing

• 77% of all employers “Google” their employees or job

applicants

• 43% said they found something

that caused them not to consider

the candidate further

• 19% said they found something

that increased the candidate’s

chances#tcea16

Page 39: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

Employee Monitoring

• Employers have rights and responsibilities that allow them

to monitor employees

• Social media records may be subpoenaed

• Spot problems early, get information offline quickly, and

discipline immediately

• Asking for passwords to social media sites is likely a

violation of the Stored Communications Act (SCA), 18

U.S.C.

#tcea16

Page 40: Social Media and Schools - TCEA 2016

a

Laws that Regulate

• These incidents and others have inspired more than 20

states (http://goo.gl/4mWHaP) to enact laws that regulate

when an employer or school may request access to the

personal digital accounts of

students or staff.

• Texas doesn’t have one yet

a

Legal Responsibility

Engaging social media monitoring companies may signal to

the judicial system that a school district is willing to be held

legally responsible for the personal digital content posted by

their students and staff.

School districts must realize that with

access and knowledge comes legal

and financial responsibility.
