Parents Pledge for Technology Use

I have read the OUSD Technology Agreement. I understand that access to technology is
provided for educational purposes only and that the district has taken precautions in an
attempt to eliminate controversial materials. However, I also recognize that it is
impossible for the District to restrict access to all controversial materials, and I will not
hold the District responsible for material acquired or accessed by my student through
District technology.
