    This document provides guidance on appropriate social media use for school employees. It advises setting strict privacy settings, avoiding unprofessional groups, and not posting negative information about students or administrators. School employees with tenure have strong protections against discipline for social media posts, unless it can be shown the post impacted their job performance. Probationary employees have limited free speech rights and could face discipline for posts about personal matters or those school officials feel may disrupt the workplace. The document aims to advise proper social media use, not provide legal advice on situations that may justify discipline.
