Social Media Policy

Social Media Policy

Our official Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube channels are managed by the Communications & Community Engagement team to share news, celebrate student and staff achievements, and provide timely district information. We welcome conversation and diverse viewpoints.

By participating, you agree to the guidelines below.

 


 

Community Standards

To keep this space respectful and safe for everyone, we may hide or remove comments that:

  • They are off-topic from the original post.
  • Contain profanity, hate speech, harassment, personal attacks, or threats.
  • Identify students or staff in defamatory, abusive, or otherwise harmful ways.
  • Share private or confidential information, including student records protected by law (FERPA).
  • Promote illegal activity or violate copyright/fair use (please credit sources and link when possible).
  • Spread spam, commercial solicitations, or repetitive promotions.
  • Intentionally mislead (e.g., impersonation) or include doxxing.

 

Moderation & Enforcement

Comments are moderated at the discretion of page administrators to uphold these standards and applicable district policies. Repeated or serious violations may result in limited participation or a page ban. During emergencies or when required by law (including certain election-related periods), comments may be limited or turned off. User comments reflect the opinions of the authors; LHISD is not responsible for the accuracy of user-generated content.

 

Privacy & Student Safety

Do not post images or information that identify students without appropriate consent. LHISD honors student media opt-out preferences. If you submit photos/content for potential sharing, you represent that you have the right to share them and that any minors’ guardians have consented.
