IMS has a web content filtering system in place that protects the District's technology users and technology resources from malicious and harmful web content.

• Meet the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

• Restrict access to web sites that contain lewd, lascivious, vulgar, obscene or plainly offensive materials.

• Restrict access to web sites that contain excessive violence, promotes hate, violence or racism, or encourages illegal activity.

• Restrict access to web sites that materially and substantially interferes with the work of the school or infringes upon the rights of other.

• Restrict access to web sites that could impair or compromise the security or performance of the District's information systems.
