In order for the district to receive ERate funding that reduces the cost of our Internet access by 62%, Federal regulations require compliance with guidelines provided in the ‘Children’s Internet Protection Act’ [47 U.S.C. § 254], also known as CIPA. Based upon CIPA guidelines, LPS employs a web content filter.
Web Content Filtering in LPS

If you have any questions about filtering policies in LPS please contact Kirk Langer, Chief Information Officer [klanger@lps.org].
Building based technology committees can make additional decisions related to access, layering additional categories of blocked content above and beyond the categories blocked for the entire district. Enter a Help Ticket for assistance.
While you are on the LPS network if you attempt to load a web page that is restricted for students, you may notice a login & password field appear on the block page. LPS employees may enter their LPS credentials to access any web page not contained in the CIPA block list. This is known as “Role Based Authentication” and respects an educator’s right to make professional decisions about the content you access. For more information visit:
