Policy Statement

    The Windsor Chronicle is the official student-produced medium of news and information published/produced by Windsor High School Journalism students. This publication of The Windsor Chronicle includes articles written by Intro to Journalism students, with goals to inform, educate and entertain its readers, as well as to provide an educational opportunity for both the students who produce The Windsor Chronicle and read it. 

     Because school officials do not engage in prior review, and the content of The Windsor Chronicle is determined by and reflects only the views of the student staff and not school officials or the school itself, its student editorial board and responsible student staff members assume complete legal and financial liability for the content of the publication.
Electronic media (including online, broadcast and podcast media) produced by WHS Journalism students are entitled to the same protections – and subjected to the same free­doms and responsibilities – as media produced for print publication. As such they will not be subject to prior review or restraint. 

     The Windsor Chronicle will not publish any material determined by student
editors or the student editorial board to be unprotected, that is, material that is libelous, obscene, materially disruptive of the school process, an unwarranted invasion of privacy, a violation of copyright or a promotion of products or services unlawful (illegal) as to minors as defined by state or federal law.
