Policy for Social Network Site Use

I was asked to write a policy to address the use of social network sites, in particular MySpace, by our elementary school students (even from outside of the school). This policy should address cyberbullying, expressing racial and other offensive comments, etc.

I would very much appreciate any help towards a site where I could read up on what other schools' policies are or maybe you can share the policy that is in place at your school.

Thank you very much in advance.

Did you ever get that policy together? I'm interested in using a private Ning for social networking within my class, or collaboratively amongst a number of classes around the world. I'm not sure that MySpace or Facebook are helpful in the classroom because of the many distractions.
