Abstract: Abstract: This paper will discuss the interim results of an initial study of 7 school districts’ acceptable use policies (AUP) as they relate to markers of sustainability. The study focuses on the development and implementation of district’s AUPs, how changes in technology and society affect a district’s AUP, teachers’, administrators’ and technology directors’ perceived value of technology vis-à-vis learning and culture, and the formal processes that guide the district’s AUP.
