FFA chapters do not have to follow school policy for the use of social media.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on the school policy
• D. Only for non-official activities

Answer: (B)

School policy governs social media use for FFA chapters because these chapters are part of the school community. Even when a chapter runs its own pages or posts about events, it must follow the school’s Acceptable Use Policy, privacy rules, and codes of conduct. The advisor helps ensure compliance, and if policies clash, the school policy takes precedence. Practically, this means avoiding sharing personal student information, securing parental consent for photos, using official channels for school-sponsored messages, and steering clear of harassing or inappropriate content. So the idea that chapters don’t have to follow school policy isn’t correct.
