Social Media Use By DSBN Staff

Date Feb 2025
Review Feb 2030

As outlined in Policy/Program Memorandum 128, staff will no longer have access to social media applications as a way to communicate with students and families. An exception process is available for administrators to submit a request to maintain a school social media account for the purposes of communication.

All staff members are expected to represent themselves on social media (DSBN and/or personal) the same way they would in person and to maintain professional standards, ethical standards of care, trust, respect and integrity.

Non-compliance by staff with this Policy may result in sanctions and/or the imposition of appropriate discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
