Website Guidelines

Download a copy of the district's website guidelines, released by the Public Relations department in January, 2008.

Ownership
The office of Public Relations has ultimate oversight of content placed on our District website.

Department Heads and Principals are asked to use their best judgment in regulating content on their respective portions of www.buffaloschools.org. 

Suitable Content
Examples of content suitable for the website:
• Open house information
• Promotion of school performances (plays and concerts)
• Calendar of events that parents need to know about
• Promotion of District sporting events
   
Examples of content not suitable for the District website:
• Content that is considered opinionated, similar to an editorial.
• Information that is commercial or promotional in nature. 
• No one is to publish personal information or links to personal websites.
• Information or pictures from activities that are deemed to be social in nature like a staff party.
• Staff and school web pages are not to be used for any non-school related commercial, for-profit, or not-for-profit promotional activity.  While community fundraisers can be worthy in nature, they are not to be promoted on a School District website.
• Links to non-District websites unless they are educational in nature and promote goals of the Superintendent, Board of Education, and District

NON-COMPLIANCE:
Pages that do not comply with these criteria are subject to revocation of approval and removal from the District’s website.

Faculty or staff posting inappropriate material is subject to revocation of access to the publication of information on the District website.
