Social Media Comment Policy
Conroe ISD maintains official social media accounts to share information, celebrate students and staff, engage with our community, and strengthen public trust. We welcome respectful dialogue and recognize that community engagement is an important part of public education. As a public school district, Conroe ISD’s official social media accounts are considered limited public forums. While individuals are encouraged to express their opinions, comments are subject to reasonable, viewpoint-neutral moderation to maintain a safe and productive environment. These guidelines are intended to create:
Respectful and productive discussions
Consistent moderation across district accounts
Transparency in moderation practices
A safe online environment for our community
Comment Guidelines
Comments or posts that include any of the following may be hidden or removed:
Profanity, obscene, or vulgar language
Personal attacks, threats, or harassment toward any individual or group
Content that promotes or endorses discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, age, or any other legally protected status
Sexual content or links to sexual content
Commercial solicitations, spam, or promotion of products or services unrelated to Conroe ISD
Misinformation that could compromise the safety of students or staff
Personally identifiable information about students or employees, including phone numbers, home addresses, grades, health information, or similar confidential information
Comments unrelated to the original post or discussion
Content that violates local, state, or federal law
Spam and repetitive comments may be hidden or removed. Spam includes commercial solicitations, fraudulent or malicious links, automated or bulk comments, and identical or substantially identical comments posted repeatedly on the same post or indiscriminately across District or campus social media accounts. A comment will not be considered spam solely because it criticizes the District, its employees, programs, policies or decisions. Comment Filtering
To assist with moderation, Conroe ISD utilizes platform filtering tools. Comments may be automatically hidden or filtered due to:
Violating one or more of the Comment Guidelines
Being posted from an anonymous, suspicious, or unverified account
Containing external links
Including GIFs, images, or other media attachments
Platform-specific moderation settings
Automatically filtered comments may be reviewed by the Communications Department when appropriate. Moderation Standards
The Communications Department strives to moderate comments consistently and fairly. Comments expressing criticism, disagreement, or differing opinions regarding the district, its employees, or the Board of Trustees will not be removed solely because of the viewpoint expressed. Moderation decisions will be based on whether comments violate the published Comment Guidelines, not on whether the district agrees with the content. Public Records
All comments and interactions on official district social media accounts may be subject to the Texas Public Information Act. Comments that are hidden or removed may still be retained as public records in accordance with applicable laws and district record retention requirements. Repeated Violations Users who repeatedly violate these guidelines may be:
Have comments hidden or removed
Be temporarily restricted from interacting with district accounts
Be blocked from district social media accounts when permitted by law and platform policies
Blocking users will be used only when necessary and in a manner consistent with applicable legal requirements. Closing Comments
Conroe ISD reserves the right to limit or disable comments on specific posts when necessary. Examples may include:
Emergency communications
Crisis situations
Sensitive personnel or student matters
Posts where comments no longer serve the intended purpose
Any decision to disable comments will be applied consistently and not based on viewpoint. Disclaimer
Conroe ISD is not responsible for content posted by third parties on its social media accounts. Comments posted by members of the public do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Conroe ISD, its employees, or the Board of Trustees.
