Website Policy

Last revised: June 2006

PURPOSE
The Kansas Music Educators Association owns and operates this Web site as an information service to its members and the general public. Materials posted on the Web site shall be intended for the use of KMEA members, affiliate organizations, and members' schools, administration, and students.

COMPATIBILITY & SERVICE
New features will be tested for cross-browser compatibility on Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Netscape. The site will not endorse a specific browser, nor will it recommend any commercial software. KMEA does not warrant that its Web site will be uninterrupted or error free; KMEA provides this Web site without warranty of any kind. KMEA disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event will KMEA be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages including, but not limited to, loss of profit, loss of data, loss of business or any other loss.

SOFTWARE
The Webmaster will hold and maintain all KMEA-owned software licenses and media which will be registered and licensed in the name of the Association.

PRIVACY
KMEA leaders will have their name, mailing address, home phone, work phone, fax number (if available), and email address posted in appropriate locations. Any of the above, with the exception of the email address, may be removed upon request. KMEA intends to respect and protect the privacy of members and students while allowing members to freely share information. Student privacy will be protected - the only information permitted online will be their full name and the school they attend. Only students involved in KMEA-affiliated programs will be listed. If KMEA is contacted by a parent or guardian, their student's name will be removed from the website.

DISTRICTS
District webmasters shall ensure that District Web sites are accurate and comply with this policy.
