Community Guidelines for Engaging with GCS Social Media
We will update social media pages as often as possible to share news about Gordon County Schools, the achievements of the students and staff, and additional information about the system.
During inclement weather, Gordon County Schools will share relevant information in relation to school closings, delays, or early releases on our social media. Official Gordon County Schools pages will be updated in conjunction with the alerting of local and state media.
All social media sites used by Gordon County Schools are designated as Limited Public Forums. Gordon County Schools welcomes a person’s right to express his or her opinion.
All comments posted on official Gordon County Schools social media pages are at the discretion of the page administrators. All postings will be reviewed to make sure they do not violate any guidelines or privacy laws.
People making comments on the pages are asked to show respect for their fellow users by ensuring the discussion remains civil. Comments are also subject to the platform's Terms of Use and Gordon County Schools Code of Conduct.
Gordon County Schools reserve the right to remove from public view the following types of posted comments;
Comments containing vulgar language.
Obscene, pornographic or other illegal materials.
Sexual comments about, or directed to anyone.

All statements and viewpoints expressed in the comments are strictly those of the commenter alone, and do not constitute an official position of Gordon County Schools unless they are posted by the original author (who is an authorized representative of GCS) or by a subject matter expert responding on behalf of the System.
