About Web Central

Mission of Web Central / District Web Manager

  • To use the Internet to enhance communication with students, parents, staff, and the community by giving district schools, departments, and teachers access to their own web site, housed on district webserver(s).
  • To allow web editors to manage and maintain their own web sites instantly.
  • To provide information and assistance to all district web editors.

Types of District Web Sites

Every district web site falls into one of the following categories:

District-Wide Sites
Pages not related to any particular school are generally maintained by the District Web Manager and overseen by the Superintendent or another administrator.
School Sites
School sites are maintained by one or more school web editors. If the school does not have a web editor, the District Web Manager maintains its web site. School sites are overseen by the school principal and the District Web Manager.
Department / Team Sites
Departments (e.g. WHS Science) or Teams (e.g. Juarez Bilingual Team) may have a site maintained by one or more members of the department / team. These sites are overseen by the school principal and the District Web Manager.
Classroom / Library Sites
Teachers and staff may have a web site to communicate about their classroom or library media center. These sites are overseen by the school principal and the District Web Manager.

Training

Training will also be on a voluntary basis. School and department web editors must complete the first and second training phases (advanced training classes are optional). Teachers and staff must complete the first training phase to get a classroom or library website (Phase II and advanced training classes are optional).

Responsibility Disclaimer

Any faculty or staff that has access to add, modify, or delete information on the district webserver(s) (“web editor”) is responsible for the content on their web site. Any information posted to the district webserver(s) will be monitored by the District Web Manager, district and school administrators, and network technicians. Access to the district server(s) is a privilege and can be restricted, suspended, or revoked at the disgression of the District Web Manager. Please see the Web Publishing Standards (PDF) for additional information.
