Hi,



I thought that law applies only to K-12 schools accepting E Funding.

Can you mitigate this by including a legal blurb that would have to be
signed by parents prior to the students being released in to the
program?......make it part of the “registration” paperwork?  You could
advise the parents (and the students) that the use of your networks are
subject to your use policies, and “…under age student participants shall
not….”??



Based on my past experience – most times, the Feds are just looking for
folks to demonstrate some level of due diligence……and if you can
demonstrate that all participants have been apprised of your policies, (and
the possible consequences for the violation of those policies!), you can
usually keep problems to a minimum…..



Just my $.02…..

Good Morning Colleagues,



NMSU is hosting some form of “summer camp” for high school (and perhaps
younger) students.  The students will be housed at NMSU dorms during this
time.  They are now asking for Internet access in the dorms.  Of course,
NMSU has no restrictions on the internet.  Would we need to comply
with the Children's
Internet Protection Act (CIPA)?  We receive federal funding, but based on
my reading of CIPA compliance requirements we would not be subject to CIPA.



Just to be cautious… Any thoughts on the risks?  Should we just go ahead
and NOT grant them internet access as there is that possibility of these
minors browsing through inappropriate content?  Please share with me your
ideas and/or practices.
