4. Schools with more than one campus may request an additional phone line to be paid by the board, with each case being reviewed separately. We recognize that each location is unique, and will openly review each request. Upon the Superintendent's approval, the Board may pay for an additional line for schools with more than one campus.

5. Schools may not add additional phone lines without written permission from the Superintendent or his/her designee. This includes lines for athletics, P.T.A., classrooms, libraries, etc. The Superintendent or his designee must approve any work order in regards to telephones to include purchase of peripheral equipment to the phone system. This is necessary to ensure the capability of equipment with the existing network. The principal will be responsible for any lines installed without prior written approval. If a line has been pre approved, the principal will notify the Superintendent designee of the new telephone number upon installment. The Board will have an accurate listing of each phone number located at each school, regardless of the responsible billing party.

6. All long distance charges will be billed to the school by the Finance Department. Principals will be responsible for monitoring use of long distance access to insure that all long distance calls are necessary and school business related.
