[Erate] CIPA NPRM Released!

[Randy Trummer]

Sabrina:

Under III-B-10 it says, "...of the Act to require that the technology
protection measures be in operation during any use of computers with
Internet access..."   While obviously not new language, do you read that
section as directing that literally "any" computers will be subject to
the CIPA protection measures?   More specifically, do you believe in the
process of clarifying the Act that computers (or anything that could be
called a computer - even mobile devices like iphones) would need to be
filtered while at the school?  If this is the case, then we
(districts/ESDs) might want to discuss the potential problem of adopting
updated internet safety policies for compliance while knowing that we
couldn't possibly control a personally-owned iphone or netbook with 3G
service.

Later in Appendix A (c)(1)(i) it also says, "...must also include
monitoring the online activities of minors." 

To my legally untrained eye there doesn't appear to be language or an
acknowledgment that the CIPA protection mandates can only be limited to
district-managed networks and computing devices.

If I read this wrong just let me know and I'll consider it another
hallucination.
