OSBA Social Media Guidelines
The Oregon School Boards Association makes every reasonable effort to ensure that its social media pages contain only content appropriate to serve its mission of improving student achievement through advocacy, leadership and service to locally elected, volunteer school boards. The nature of social media sites presents third parties the opportunity to post content over which OSBA has no control, which may be offensive, inappropriate, and/or in violation of OSBA’s policies and regulations. Examples of “offensive” posts include those that are violent, obscene, profane, hateful or racist. Once identified, such content will be removed as promptly as circumstances allow and the person who made the post will be banned and reported to law enforcement as appropriate. Examples of “inappropriate” posts include comments that threaten or harm the reputation of any person or organization, advertisements or solicitations of any kind, comments that suggest or encourage illegal activity, multiple off-topic posts or repetitive posts that are copied and pasted, and personal information including, but not limited to, email addresses, telephone numbers or mailing addresses. These posts may be removed and the person who made the post may be banned at the discretion of OSBA staff. OSBA does not sponsor or endorse any content posted on its social media sites by third party users.
