We strive to foster a community of open communication and constructive dialogue. We reserve the right to delete posts or comments that are profane, obscene, offensive, misrepresentative or that identify individuals in a potentially detrimental manner. The purpose of Lakota’s social media channels is to build community and celebrate our schools, students and staff, not to provide a forum for negativity and complaints. For that, we encourage our followers to review Board Policy 9130 Public Complains & Resolution or utilize our Lakota Listens platform.
Specifically, we will hide or delete comments when:
-
Users participate in name-calling.
-
They advertise or promote services/products not approved by the District.
-
They violate copyright and fair use laws.
-
They include inappropriate language, statements or profanity. This includes remarks, images, GIFs, emojis, etc. that are vulgar, lewd, racist, homophobic, and/or sexist.
-
They are abusive toward a specific student, staff member.
-
They include profanity, or simulated profanity. Inserting symbols, such as *** is not permitted and will be removed.
-
They incite violence or make threats or are threatening against the District and its staff and students.
-
They encourage breaking the law or encouraging others to do so.
-
They are unrelated to the original message and spirit of the post.
-
They are political in nature.
We will ban users if comments:
-
Are repeated, frequent violations of the above.
-
Endanger others.
Participants should not expect responses to every question or comment posted. For school-related questions or concerns, please contact your building administrator. For district-level inquiries and feedback, please visit our Lakota Listens webpage.
