The installation, removal or modification of communication systems are approved in accordance with the District connectivity plan and are ordered by the Maintenance Department.  Placement of telephones within buildings is under the jurisdiction of the building principal according to the following:

1.    Frequency and necessary use should generally determine placement, except for those locations having crucial use unrelated to frequency.
2.    Single lines to one user are discouraged.  Extensions should be used to increase overall availability of lines.  Among professional staff, claims for privacy are not sufficient to necessitate single lines with no extensions.
3.    All communication services are designed for District business and instruction utilization.
