Swink athletes represent our school, and as such should exhibit proper behavior in venues, including social media During the past year several social media "comments" that were hurtful were made by students from other school districts, as well as our own. These comments were derogatory to the designated target, as well as costing c poor reflection on the athlete's own school. Several schools implemented o new procedure when school began to keep these comments from happening. In order to minimize poor sportsmanship and derogatory comments made on social media and to support our neighboring schools and their efforts toward this end, the followin4 procedures will be implemented to Swink School District.
