Story

Terms of Use:

The York County School Division Facebook Fan Page is provided for the community by the YCSD Community and Public Relations Office. The goal of this page is to provide timely, relevant and accurate information about the division and to share the achievements of our students and staff. Guidelines have been established to ensure effective and open conversation.

All posting of comments on this page are at the discretion of the page administrators. The intent of this policy is not to keep any negative or critical information from being posted, but to protect the privacy and rights of YCSD staff and students in a respectful manner. Therefore individuals who post comments of the following nature may have comments removed or be blocked from the page:

• Comments that may jeopardize the safety and well-being of a student or staff member. We ask all users to refrain from posting “place and time” information about our students and staff.

• Comments that contain abusive, defamatory, or offensive language or that violate privacy laws.

• Comments that are considered likely to offend, harass or provoke others – i.e. don’t pick fights or goad others into inflammatory debates.

• Comments deemed to be spam (i.e. repeated postings of the same comment) or attempts to advertise/promote organizations, businesses, services or products not affiliated with the school division.

• Comments that violate copyright and fair use laws.

• Comments that fuel rumors. If you don’t know it’s a fact, don’t post it. An example would be the post: “I heard school will be dismissed at 11 am.” YCSD will post school closing information as soon as a decision is made.

• Comments from what appear to be fake accounts

The page administrators will review all postings to make sure they do not run afoul of the rules nor of the division’s Acceptable Use Policy regarding Internet access and practices. Comments posted on this Fan page by other users reflect those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official views of the York County School Division.

Your comments are welcome at any time. However, given the need to appropriately manage all communication responsibilities, we intend to review and post comments from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. on regularly scheduled business days. We intend to review and post comments submitted at other times as soon as possible or on the next business day.
