Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
CIPA requires K-12 schools and libraries using E-Rate discounts to operate "a
technology protection measure with respect to any of its computers with Internet
access that protects against access through such computers to visual depictions
that are obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors..." Such a technology
protection measure must be employed "during any use of such computers by
minors." The law also provides that the school or library "may disable the
technology protection measure concerned, during use by an adult, to enable
access for bona fide research or other lawful purpose."
Bloomfield uses the Connecticut Education Network (CEN) to provide filtered
Internet service. We also have the ability to customize the filtering. Currently
blocked sites include:
• Gambling
• Depictions of firearms or drugs
• Social networking (Facebook, Myspace)
• YouTube

old. How can we become competitive
in the job market if we are trained on
obsolete equipment?
