CAMPUS IMPACT
Character is....Who you are when nobody is watching!
E-Rate Compliance Certification On October 10, 2008 the “Broadband Data Improvement Act” / “Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act” was signed into law. For schools and districts the law means that elementary and secondary schools having computers with Internet access will not receive federal funding through the E-Rate Program for Internet service, Internet access or internal connections without certifying that their Internet safety policy includes Internet safety education. Specifically, the mandatory Internet safety education must include lessons on cyber bullying awareness and response as well as teaching appropriate online behaviors for students on social networking sites and in chat rooms. IMPORTANT NOTE: At this time, neither the FCC nor USAC have issued implementing rules/guidelines. However, the FCC recently updated its Web site summarizing what the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires, incorporating the new law enacted by Congress that imposes new requirements on any school or library that receives funding for Internet access or internal connections from the E-Rate Program. CLICK HERE to review the CIPA requirements summarized on the updated FCC Web site. While i-SAFE acknowledges the FCC’s updated Web site is not an issuance of rules/guidelines per se, the updated summary of CIPA requirements can help your schools and districts get in a prepared position and stay in front of the new law rather than run behind it.
