DISTRICT MAIL SERVICE
CPAB-R (LOCAL)

NONPUBLIC FORUM	The District's mail service, email and website are nonpublic forum and are created and maintained solely for the conduct of official business on behalf of the District. Occasional use by employees for designated personal purpose is not intended to create a public forum or a limited public forum.
USE OF MAIL SERVICE -  INTEROFFICE AND  INTERSCHOOL	Interoffice and interschool mail service and e-mail shall be used only for official business on behalf of the District. Materials must be clearly marked with destination and, if applicable, the name of the recipient. No private correspondence or commercial advertising may be sent interoffice or interschool mail. U.S. mail addressed to a box holder shall be placed in the appropriate box.
USE OF MAIL SERVICE -  CAMPUS AND BUILDING	Mail boxes in school campuses and other buildings are an extension of the District mail service, are the property of the District, and are under the supervision of the principal or building administrator. All materials placed in the District mail service or e-mail are subject to inspection by the appropriate supervisor at any time. The supervisor may remove any unauthorized materials without further notice. The principal or building superior may permit occasional personal use of the campus or building mail boxes or e-mail by employees subject to the following restrictions: 1. such use is merely incidental to the primary use of the mail boxes for official business on behalf of the District; 2. such use does not interfere with or disrupt the primary use of the mail boxes for official business on behalf of the District; 3. material distributed may include nonprofit community services (such as youth recreation programs), PTA materials, nonprofit health promotions (such as American Heart Association), personal announcements (such as birth or wedding announcements, birthday cards, party invitations, garage sales), and employee organization information;  4. material distributed may not include commercial, political, or religious, advertising or any material that demeans, debases, ridicules or attacks any person or group on the basis of the person's or group's race, sex, age, religion, ethnicity or national origin; and 5. material distributed identifies the employee who distributed it. Such limited personal use is for the convenience of the District and its employees. The District mail service (including e-mail) is not open for use by any outside person, group, or entity without the prior written permission of the Superintendent of Schools. If such limited personal use by employees disrupts or interferes with the primary use of the district's e-mail system or campus or building mail boxes for District official business, the campus principal or building supervisor may further restrict or prohibit such use at any time. Employees do not have a property, liberty, or other legally recognized and protected interest in use of campus or building mail boxes or e-mail for designated personal purposes.
