[CASL-L] RE: Filtered sites on the web in HS

[Crowley, John]

At JBHS people email or call IT with the request. If it is a questionable site it is referred  to me, as Director of Technology,  for final authorization. There have been some instances where a teacher needs a site unblocked for a limited amount of time and that is easily accommodated as well.

Good Morning all –

I have a quick Q for those who work in HS ; when an internet site that teachers need for instruction has been blocked by filters, what is the procedure that IT/School/District follows to allow teachers to request a site be “unblocked”? Thanks for any info!

Sincerely,
Kristie
