Internet Filter Information​:

In accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the Canadian Independent School District will monitor and filter all Internet access by using appropriate filtering and blocking technology.

1. All district computers and mobile devices, with access to the Internet, will be filtered.
2. All users will be restricted from access to inappropriate materials. The district’s filter system supports blocking or filtering access to visual depictions if they are deemed: (1) obscene, (2) pornographic, or (3) harmful to minors.
3. The district cannot disable the filters when minors are using the Internet even with parental or teacher permission and supervision.

Blocked sites may only be disabled for “bona fide” research purposes. Classroom instructors or administrators may file a request to open the filter for a designated website which will be used for research by submitting a work order or link provided on the block page.
