Social Media Participation Agreement

Southwest ISD utilizes social media to keep our students, staff, and community informed by sharing important updates, positive news, school closures, and upcoming events. Page administrators oversee the operation and monitoring of district-affiliated social media pages. While public comments are welcomed and encouraged, they must comply with the district’s participation agreement. This agreement is intended to protect the privacy and rights of Southwest ISD students, staff, and community members, not to suppress negative or critical opinions. Please allow up to 24 hours for responses to messages or inquiries.

 

By posting on this page, you agree not to:

  • Post comments that are profane, obscene, offensive, sexually explicit, inappropriate, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Threaten, harass, defame, or libel any individual or entity.
  • Violate any laws or encourage others to do so, including respecting privacy, intellectual property, and publication rights.
  • Share phone numbers, email addresses, or confidential information of others. If you choose to post your own contact information, be aware that it will be publicly visible and subject to misuse.
  • Advertise or promote products, services, or events unrelated to Southwest ISD.
  • Solicit business, membership, or financial contributions for organizations unaffiliated with Southwest ISD.
  • Engage in spam, such as repeatedly posting the same comment or chain letters.
  • Allow others to use your account for posting or viewing comments.
  • Use multiple identities or another person’s name to comment.
  • Engage in political statements, endorsements, or discussions that do not pertain to Southwest ISD initiatives or educational matters.

Southwest ISD reserves the right to:

  • Disable public comments.
  • Remove or edit comments that violate this agreement.
  • Ban users who repeatedly fail to comply with the district’s participation agreement.
  • Update this agreement as needed to address new issues, operational changes, or legal updates.

 

All comments and materials posted on Southwest ISD-sponsored social media pages become district property. By participating, users grant Southwest ISD the irrevocable right to display, modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, and publish submissions. Users also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the district, its employees, and affiliates from any damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, or expenses arising from third-party claims related to content posted on Southwest ISD’s platforms.

 

For questions or to report a post for review, please email [email protected].

 

Complaints or concerns should be directed to the campus in question or submitted through our Speak Up reporting tool. In case of an emergency, please dial 911.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and support of Southwest ISD.
