The purpose of Haywood County Schools (HCS) social media accounts is to increase communication between school and home and provide the community with pertinent news and information regarding our students and schools. In an effort to maintain consistency across all platforms, schools should use the following guidelines when addressing social media use at your site.
System-controlled Accounts:
Accounts should only be assigned to one manager at the school level and shall follow all compliance guidelines for COPPA, FERPA, and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Please submit a help desk ticket to modify user accounts.
Personal Accounts:
These accounts will be created by the end user and will represent the end user. Individual accounts do not represent Haywood County Schools or the school where the end user is employed. Individual accounts are the responsibility of the person who creates them. Direct communication with students is a violation of board policy. This includes messages posted to your wall as well as private messages.
