In this age of technology, it seems that nearly everybody has a Facebook profile or a Twitter account. This includes teachers, principals and even superintendents. It's how these people are using their social networking sites that's of concern to the New Jersey School Boards Association (NJSBA), who recently sent a letter out regarding staff, students and social networking.
"We're in uncharted waters here," said Dr. H Mark Stanwood, Gloucester County Superintendent of Schools. "We certainly recognize that it would be foolhardy to preclude staff from having or working with social networking sites because it's such a big part of our culture."
