Students in the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda Union Free School District will be held to a much higher standard this upcoming school year concerning the use of technology and violations of the District’s Code of Conduct. District stakeholders, keenly aware of the increased use by students of mobile devices, social networking websites, instant messaging, and chat rooms, have updated the District’s Project SAVE (Safe Schools Against Violence in Education) policy to include disciplinary action against students who use technology to defame, tease, bully, or harass other students.
“Our District took pro-active measures to protect students and foster a safe environment for them inside and outside of schools. We worked expeditiously to update our Code of Conduct to reflect rapid changes in technology,” said Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda Union Free School District Superintendent Mark P.
