At the Town of St. John, we understand that social media can be a fun and rewarding way to share your life and opinions with family, friends and co-workers around the world. However, use of social media also presents certain risks and carries with it certain responsibilities. To assist you in making responsible decisions about your use of social media, we have established these guidelines for appropriate use of social media. This policy applies to all full-time, part-time and seasonal employees, all elected officials including members of the Town Council, Clerk-Treasurer, anyone who volunteers on behalf of the Town of St. John and all appointed board or commission members.

Carefully read these guidelines as well as the Employee Behavior/Conduct and Discrimination/Harassment section of the Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual, and ensure your postings are consistent with these policies. Inappropriate postings that may include discriminatory or defamatory remarks, harassment, and threats of violence or similar inappropriate or unlawful conduct will not be tolerated and may subject you to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
