• Students will remain safe using district-issued devices. LISD filters block inappropriate websites whenever the device is connected to the Internet, a federal requirement of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)

• Parents/guardians are able to easily check their child’s device to ensure the filtering system is active while using out-of-district Internet connections

• Filtering is always enabled on district issued devices. Parents/guardians can check whether filtering is active by visiting www.lisd.net/block on their child’s iPad.
