Tucson Unified School District Social Media Community Standards SY2026-27

The Tucson Unified School District’s official social media accounts (Facebook, Facebook Spanish, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn) are administered and monitored by the Communication Department[NG1] . Individual schools and our athletic program also maintain accounts across these channels.

Our social media pages are where we share the stories and celebrate the accomplishments of our Tucson Unified students and staff. We welcome the opportunity for our parents and stakeholders to engage with us on our pages. However, we expect civility and common sense in all comments.

The administrators of any and all Tucson Unified accounts reserve the right to hide or remove comments, replies, or other content and interactions that they deem in violation of the Social Media Community Standards or in violation of the social media platform’s standards. Please reference each platform’s standards as follows: Facebook Community Standards; Instagram Policies; X Rules/Policies; YouTube Community Guidelines. The administrators may also take action to report, block, or ban users from any and all social media platforms for repeated violations of these standards.
