This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you may have.

Information we collect

Information you provide to us

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as when you:

  • Submit a contact form, request information, or send us an email
  • Register for a meeting, training, or event
  • Apply for employment or complete other online forms provided through the District website

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and any details you include in your message or submission.

When you use our website, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect limited information such as:

  • IP address (general location information, such as city/region)
  • Device and browser type
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referring/exit pages and basic site interaction data

How we use information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide and improve our website content and services
  • Respond to inquiries, requests, and feedback
  • Operate, maintain, and secure our website
  • Monitor website performance and troubleshoot issues

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as needed to operate the website and provide services, including:

  • Service providers: vendors that host the website, provide technical support, analytics, forms, or other operational services. These vendors are permitted to use information only to perform services for the District, consistent with contractual and legal requirements.
  • Legal requirements: when required by law, court order, or as necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of the District and the public.
  • With your direction: when you request or authorize us to share information.

Our website contains links to third-party websites (for example, state and county health resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Remember preferences and improve site functionality
  • Understand how the website is used so we can improve content and navigation
  • Maintain website security and performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some website features may not work as intended.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is not a consistent industry standard for how DNT signals are interpreted, our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

Children, students, and education records

Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for general audiences (parents/guardians, students, staff, and community members). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us so we can review and address the issue.

Student records

Student education records are protected by federal and state law. Requests to access or amend student records should be directed to the District using the contact information below. Student records are handled in accordance with applicable student privacy laws and District policies.

Security and retention

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect information consistent with applicable requirements.

We retain information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies.

Your choices

  • Cookies: manage cookies through your browser settings.
  • External links: review third-party privacy policies when you leave our website.
  • Corrections: if you believe information you submitted is inaccurate, contact us to request an update where appropriate.
