AASD Social Media

A District social media account is a social media account, regardless of platform, that is operated by a school district employee or in his/her professional capacity, and that is designed to further the educational mission of the school district by communicating with members of the school district community and the general public.

Any employee who wishes to establish a district social media account must secure administrative (principal/supervisor) approval prior to establishing the account.

Application must be made if you want to use the account on behalf of the Altoona Area School District or one of its entities, i.e. classroom, department, school, library, team, club, activity, etc.

Application is not required for personal use of social media platforms. However, individuals are responsible for information published on any social media platform, especially when representing himself/herself as an Altoona Area School District employee.

All employees who use social media with AASD students must be aware that according to their terms of service, many social media websites disallow children under the age of 13 from using their services. Other social media sites require parental permission for students between 13 and 18.

All comments submitted to a social media site are to be moderated by the content owner. Comments that are obscene, defamatory, profane libelous, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful or embarrassing to another person or entity are not approved. Owner/Moderator agrees to take all reasonable steps to prevent and eliminate non-approved comments and understands that that it may be necessary to discontinue the use of the social media if such comments cannot be eliminated or prevented.
