Abstract	With the continued explosive growth of personalized websites, more and more public school administrators can expect to face situations in which inappropriate materials have been posted by a teacher, staff member or student. While failing to recognize employees' rights of free speech can result in legal liability, administrators also must be prepared to identify unprotected speech and determine when Internet postings are causing material disruptions or resulting in a flow of inappropriate materials into the school. In this article, based on the authors' legal representation of school districts, they suggest some approaches for dealing with such issues when they arise. In determining how to deal with such matters, consider first when websites and blogs can be legally monitored; when to actually monitor; how to notify employees of the intent to monitor; and whether any objectionable postings are legally protected or instead form a basis for discipline or discharge.
