Someone should setup a Vermont K-12 Content Filtering Consortium where we interpret the rules and setup consistent guidelines for filtering. That way we can all be a little more consistent with how we approach the Internet. I know that I get really tired of being told by visitors that SB sucks because we block something that another school doesn't... at least then we could say "Yeah? Well your school sucks too!" ;)

We could get real official, collect dues, and make a fancy logo that can be stamped on AUPs and board policies... maybe even make t-shirts...

CIPA does not require monitoring only certification that filtering is in place. I have attached the FCC Consumer Fact Sheet on CIPA.

my guess is that if you are like most people and have the existing/old VTSBA model AUP (or near copy) it states somethig like 'students will be monitored at all times' and also, isnt it CIPA that requires it outright (maybe it was an option there) in either case.

youtube has been open here forever bc it has tremendous educational value.

litteraly things that cant be recreated at all or at outrageous cost in a classroom setting (playing with mecury and other exotic metals)

the comments are attrocious, some videos are too racy, and the remainder are likley banal, but since our students must be monitored at all times (AUP, CIPA) any misuse should be easy to spot.
