Discipline in the computer classroom follows KISD and HHHS policies. KISD computer acceptable use policies are detailed on the KISD website in the Student Code of Conduct book. Student who use the computers in ways that go against acceptable use policies could have their computer priviliages revoked school-wide. This would seriously impact their other classes and make it impossible to finish out the computer class, which could delay their graduation.
