Guidelines for Participation on Official ACA Social Media Sites
Arlington Classics Academy (ACA) utilizes social media platforms to serve as an additional means to share news, provide information and facilitate communications within our school community. ACA welcomes public participation and engagement on official ACA social media platforms. However, user comments will be monitored for civility a
nd appropriateness and must adhere to the following Guidelines for Participation on Official ACA Social Media Sites (Guidelines). Use of, or commenting on, ACA’s social media sites is voluntary and constitutes acceptance of these Guidelines. Arlington Classics Academy reserves the right to delete or remove a comment when its content violates these Guidelines. Specifically, ACA will remove comments that are:
• Controversial comments: Comments that are deemed controversial, including, but not limited to, anything off-subject or out of context, debate related, or political will be removed.
• Obscene or offensive comments: Comments that contain obscene materials or materials that appeal to the prurient interest and comments with offensive language including remarks that are racist, homophobic, sexist, or sexually explicit or that targets ethnic, religious or other legally protected groups will be removed.
• Comments that breach ACA policies: Comments that breach ACA policies or that contain specific allegations, personal attacks or accusations about a student, parent, employee, board member or community member will be removed.
• Comments that do not consider others’ rights to privacy: Comments that do not consider others’ right to privacy or that contain personal identifying information or sensitive personal information, as defined in Tex. will be removed.
• Comments that are threatening, harassing or discriminatory will be removed.
• Comments that violate the law: Comments that contain information that reasonably could compromise public safety or that incite or promote violence or illegal activities will be removed. Comments that violate U.S. copyright or fair use laws or break any other laws will also be removed.
• Spam comments: Comments of a repetitive or “spamming” nature (the same comment posted multiple times) will be removed. Comments that impersonate, link to another website, or are found to be a scam will also be removed.
• Marketing comments: Comments that are advertising goods, services, entities, or individuals will be removed. Comments that violate these Guidelines may be removed without notice, and repeated failure to comply with these Guidelines could lead to the user being banned from participating on ACA social media. Arlington Classics Academy further reserves the right to turn off, or restrict, comments on any single post at its discretion. Comments are the sole opinions of the users who post them and should not be taken as representative of the views of ACA. ACA shall not be responsible for any misinformation set forth in user comments. Arlington Classics Academy reserves the right to change these Guidelines at any time without prior notification.
