Administrative Web Publishing Policy

The Madison Metropolitan School District's World Wide Web site is a means of communicating information electronically to students, parents, staff and the general public. Through our Web site, we hope to:

make available instructional materials and resources for students and staff; and,
share with citizens of the MMSD and the rest of the world information about our curriculum and instruction, school-authorized activities, and other facts relating to the MMSD and its mission.

In order to provide guidance in the construction and on-going maintenance of the MMSD Web site, the following policies and procedures regarding Web pages have been established.
