Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)
●Came to be in 2000 in response to concern about Internet access to obscene or harmful information
●Policies must be in place to receive Internet discount from the E-rate program
●These policies require monitoring and awareness of obscene or pornographic for students.
●Hacking by minors, unlawful dissemination of information, and safety while using e-mail and chat rooms are also monitored by CIPA
How Will We Implement: CIPANot only do we want to receive the E-rate discount for applying
appropriate filters to school computers, but most importantly we want to protect students.
We will maintain appropriate filters and website blocks to keep students from being able to access inappropriate content.
If, for some reason, these filters or blocks are weakened, disciplinary action will be take.
The media specialist will teach proper website searching skills and which websites are appropriate for student usage.

IDEA was originally enacted by Congress in 1975 and has undergone many update and changes since then to ensure that it protects all students.
IDEA is the law that ensures children with disabilities have access to a quality, free education and that the education is accommodated to their appropriate needs.
How Will We Implement: IDEATo accommodate all students with or without disabilities, our media
center will provide various mediums, such as audiobooks, eReaders, and large print text, through which students can read books, as well as providing books to meet many different reading and ability levels.
The media center will assist with recording test with audio to assist students who need an assignment read. The media center has recorders and a quiet room for recording.
The layout of the media center will contain lower shelves so all students can access the novels, as well as accommodations for wheelchairs.
