 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Central York's AUP states many things on child pornography as well as any kind of fowl use of the computers is a bad thing and has its consequences.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It also states that the computers are a privilege and not a right. It also states how it is trying to protect the minor from any sites that are not appropriate in school.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">They stop this by a firewall that can be taken down if granted permission.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Things that aren't aloud on the computer such as hate mail or any kind of harassment or crude indecent things stated using the computers.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I would keep most everything from the AUP.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think that of course the whole child pornography thing should be kept.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">also the things that aren't aloud on the computer.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">things that are not aloud to be on the computer are any type of harassment or indecent thing said to or about any student.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If anyone was not to follow this rule, a punishment would be put in place, and the use of a computer would be taken away for an amount of time.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Also the child pornography laws still apply.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students may not try to harm or vandalize the computer or anything on it. The firewall may not be brought down for any reason, it was put up to protect minors.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To make it safe students and employees are not advised to give out personal information, or their passwords to any sites.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The problem would be reported to a authority for any prosecution
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Loss of access to the internet
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And detention
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">school officials can make students aware of cyberbullying by having meetings with them maybe once or twice a yr.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">define what it is
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Keep up on what the kids are doing on the internet
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think that school officials would have a hard time stopping cyberbullying do to the fact that most of the cyberbullying happens over social networks.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">set up a bullying hot line

 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Don't always confront the bully and his parents it can make it worse.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Or for not doing anything to stop this whole epidemic.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Not talking to the students or to the parents of the bully.
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Conferencing parents, with the bully, and of the victim
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">expulsion of a student who bullies another student
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Make sure that outside of school kids who bring home computers are monitored.

__<span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If cyberbullying is detected __


 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">find out who is doing the bullying
 * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">tell the parents of both the bully and the target
