In early 2001, the FCC issued rulesimplementingCIPA.The district employs the Marshal 8E6 R3000 Internet Filtering switch, with asubscription for periodic updates to the libraries and definitions that control thewebsite blacklists. This blocks all access to obscene, pornographic, or potentiallyharmfulcontent.Additionally,thedistrictrestrictsstudentaccesstochatroomsandotherformsofelectroniccommunicationthatmightbeusedinapotentiallyharmfulmanner.Theunauthorizeduseofpersonalstudent information (textor image)bynon-districtpersons,orwithnon-districtassets,isalsoexpresslyforbidden.Allstudentsarerequiredtoreadandagreetothedistrict’sAcceptableUsagePolicy.Parentsarealsorequiredtoreadandagreetothisdocument.Inthisdocument,thevariouspolicyrestrictionsandpenalties forviolationaredelineated.Unauthorizedstudent use and/or access of district electronic resources without an AUP areexpressly forbidden and can result in severe disciplinary consequences for thepartiesinvolved.The technology department has the ability to monitor student activities on theInternet,usingtoolssuchasVNC,event logs,download&webbrowsinghistories,and Internet filter logs.
