Student Accounts or Profiles on Social Networking Websites

School officials may not require a student or their parent/guardian to provide a password or other related account information to gain access to the student’s account or profile on a social networking website.

School officials may conduct an investigation or require a student to cooperate in an investigation if there is specific information about activity on a student’s account on a social networking website that violates a school disciplinary rule or policy. In the course of an investigation, the student may be required to share reported content to allow school officials to make a factual determination.
