  7. CIPA • The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law passed by Congress in 2000, and updated and clarified since, to help ensure the safety of children accessing the Internet over school and library computers. Any organizations that receive funding through E-Rate or the Universal Service Fund must certify that they are meeting the requirements of CIPA. www.myBigCampus.com

  8. Facts About CIPA and Web Filtering • CIPA requires a web filter for schools that receive E-Rate funding. • CIPA requires that schools block visual depictions that are pornographic, obscene, or harmful to minors. • CIPA requires a policy for educating users, including educating minors about appropriate online behavior and interacting with other individuals on social networking sites; a policy for Internet Safety; and monitoring the activity of minors. • CIPA requires filtering on school-owned devices (even mobile devices); clarification on requirements for student-owned devices used on campuses is forthcoming from the FCC. www.myBigCampus.com
