Technology HandbookPN-GISD Internet FilterADDITIONALINFORMATIONIn order to qualify for ERATE funding, our school district must be in compliance withthe CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act). To be in compliance, we must filter the internet in accordance with theirstandards.In order to insure that everyone has access to the internet, heavy bandwidth sites are restricted.Our previous internet content filter subscription expired during the summer of 2015 and we began the 2015‐2016school year with a new content filter. Our participation continues into the 2018‐2019 school year. Our new contentfilter provider is called “NetSpective”.Our previous content filter required that your network settings specify a certain “PROXY” you had to use in order toaccess the internet. The new filter does not require this setting and will not work if the old settings are not removed.District computers will have these old settings removed automatically while any such settings that were entered intoyour personal devices, or school iPads, will have to be removed manually.Should you visit a site that falls into one of the restricted categories, you will be shown a message similar to the onesbelow.Page 11
Technology HandbookShould you see such a message, PLEASE check the text of the message to ensure that you are a member of the group thefilter is showing (Staff and Faculty vs. Student) before reporting that you are being blocked from some site you feel youshould have access to. Internet access is based on the filters ability to determine your identity.Any device that connects to the “ PN‐G District Wireless “ SSID will be required to install a security certificate in order togain full access to the internet. District DOMAIN joined devices ( laptops / desktops ) have this certificate installedautomatically.When you go to a site that requires that you enter your name and password you will be shown a page similar to the onebelow:If the “HTTPS” is green and has a little lock icon next to it this means that the certificate has already been installed andyou just need to enter your PNGISD network logon and password. Do not enter the “@pngisd.org” or the“@student.pngisd.org” portion of your logon.Non domain joined devices ( phones, iPads ) that connect to the “ PN‐G District Wireless “ SSID will be required to entertheir username and password at least once every 8 hours.Page 12
