SFDRCISD STUDENTS IN TROUBLE FOR POSTING INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL

Image for Reference - Not included in original Press Release

Today, the District learned that a group of students formed a chat group on which a few students began sharing inappropriate photos of themselves with the group. Upon becoming aware of the situation, the District began an investigation and will be addressing the matter with the students under its code of conduct and applicable law. Since these are students, the District cannot share any identifying information and cannot comment further on the investigation into the matter.

Student safety and well-being is a top priority for the District, and while it is understood that students increasingly rely on electronic communications using text messaging and social media sites, we want to encourage parents/guardians to talk to their children about responsible online citizenship and refraining from sharing or posting any kind of inappropriate material, whether about themselves or others, even as a joke. Such conduct cannot only result in school disciplinary consequences, but it can also possibly result in criminal charges for those who post or share any inappropriate material with others. If your child should ever receive such material, please encourage them not to share it any further, and instead report it to a parent/guardian, school teacher or administrator.
