Richardson ISD Facebook Responsible Use Guidelines
The Richardson Independent School District (“RISD” or the “District”) has developed a Facebook Fan Page for the district’s community to help keep fans informed about District news and events. We will update this page frequently to share successes of RISD students and staff, in addition to other relevant District information. We welcome your inte
raction with RISD through our Facebook Fan Page! All posting of comments on this page is at the discretion of the page administrators. All users must disclose their identity. RISD does not intend to prevent the posting of candid comments or critiques, but the District will take appropriate steps to protect the privacy and rights of RISD students and staff. We will not allow the posting of information that specifically identifies students or reveals confidential information about RISD students or employees. The RISD page administrators will review all postings to ensure they follow these guidelines and the District’s Responsible Use Guidelines regarding Internet access and practices. RISD does not sponsor or endorse any advertising that may appear on the site during a session.
