The Children's Internet Protection Act was signed into law on December 21, 2000. Under CIPA, a school district must certify that it is enforcing a policy of Internet safety that includes the use of filtering or blocking technology. This Internet Safety Policy must protect against access, through computers with Internet access, to visual depictions that are obscene, involve child pornography, or are harmful to minors. The school district must also certify that it is enforcing the operation of such filtering or blocking technology during any use of such computers by minors.
Pursuant to the Children's Internet Protection Act, as codified at 47 U.S.C. § 254(h) and (l), the Manhattan-Ogden School District has undertaken such actions, including procurement procedures, to comply with the requirements of CIPA.
Revised February 2013. Defines appropriate use of district owned computers, specifies approval processes required for purchase and installation of new hardware and software, and also addresses copyright, privacy rights, and ownership of employee computer materials.
