Connally Independent School District

The following protocol and rules of engagement apply to all official Connally ISD social media platforms.

The CISD Administration utilizes a variety of different social media platforms in order to better engage with and inform the members of this district and the surrounding communities. All social media pages will be updated as often as possible to share with you information about Connally ISD and the achievements of our students, faculty and staff.

Our decision to join social media was based on our understanding of the important role social media plays in today's society. We wanted to create an environment where the information about our district is readily available and in a variety of places. We hope you benefit from the information we share with you on this page as we continue to expand our communications with the members of this school district and the community.

Please note: All postings of comments on this page, or postings of discussion items, are at the discretion of the page administrators. The intent of this policy is not to keep any negative or critical information from being posted, but to protect the privacy and rights of Connally ISD staff and students. Naming specific employees or students in a negative way will not be allowed. All postings will be reviewed by the page administrators and removed if they violate the privacy of students/staff or the district's guidelines regarding internet access and practices.

We welcome your thoughts and comments and look forward to what you have to say. However, we will not leave postings that:

• Break the law or encourage others to do so. This includes copyright and fair use laws.

• Contain abusive or inappropriate language or statements.

• Easily identify students and/or staff in defamatory, abusive, or negative way.

• Do not show proper consideration for others' privacy or are considered to likely offend or provoke others.

• Advertise/promote a product or service for personal gain.

Please also note that we strive to maintain the most current information on our page and reserve the right to delete all discussion posts after a 30-day period.

Connally ISD is not responsible for user-generated content and the opinions expressed in that content do not necessarily reflect those of CISD.

If you would like to report an inappropriate comment you have seen on our page, please email the CISD Administration at mdonaldson@connally.org.

Thank you for being a fan of Connally ISD!

All media and interview requests related to Connally ISD students, faculty, staff, and/or facilities should be directed through the Director of Communications. Media professionals should not attempt to contact any student, employee, or other administrator directly without first submitting a request through the Communications Department.

Media requests regarding sporting events and the Connally ISD Athletic Department should be submitted directly to the Connally ISD Director of Athletics.

Connally ISD media practices are in place to support the district’s requirement, by federal law, to ensure that any student videotaped or photographed has a current media authorization form on file. This is for the protection of our students’ privacy and safety. A positive educational experience is paramount above all else. Connally ISD media practices work to protect the student experience across all campuses by limiting outside distractions.

Official district communication channels and social media networks are solely dedicated to providing information about Connally ISD sponsored activities, events, and organizations. With this in mind, the district reserves the right to deny requests from outside vendors and parties to utilize our mass messaging platforms to share information.

Connally ISD is fully committed to developing and encouraging a strong partnership between the school and community that it serves and consistently looks for ways to team up with and sponsor such outside events and organizations. If you are interested in establishing such a partnership, please reach out to the Director of Communications.
