Federal CIPA Requirements
CIPA requires that all schools who receive E-Rate funds need to have an internet safety policy in place.

- An example policy (with a discussion of how to write your policy) from E-Rate Central.

CSBA Policy on Cyberbullying
CBSA has issued a new policy brief, //Cyberbullying: Policy Considerations for Boards,// which provides background information on the extent of the problem and its impact on students, discusses the legal issues and suggests issues that boards might wish to address in policy on this topic and provides additional resources that help districts gain a greater understanding of cyberbullying.



Project Interconnect: Acceptable Use Policy - Printable Consent Forms (pdf)
These various printable pdf forms are easy to understand and cover the unacceptable uses and penalties for misuse. They state that students will be held accountable for violations of the Acceptable Use Policy and that disciplinary action may be taken.

State of Virginia Laws on Cybersafety Education
The State of Virginia is ahead of us with enforcing a law on Cybersafety Education but their wording sounds very similar to the Chavez Bill. Check out where they have taken this.

I particularly like their **rubric for Internet Safety Guidelines** at: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/Technology/OET/internet-safety-guidelines.shtml

They also have powerpoint downloads, lesson plans and examples for K-12 Integration. - A.B.
