CIPA Compliance Certification

Schools that receive federal funding must have CIPA compliance certification, confirming that they have met the following requirements depending on the federal funding program used. If a school receives funds from both E-rate and Title II-D, then they must complete both certifications in order to be CIPA compliant.

For E-rate CIPA compliance certification, the FCC will require schools to certify the following using Form 486:
A technology protection measure is in place that protects against Internet access to visual depictions of obscenity and child pornography when computers are in use by adults.

• A technology protection measure is in place that protects against Internet access to visual depictions of obscenity, child pornography and material harmful to minors when computers are in use by minors.
• The operation of the technology during computer use is being enforced.
• Schools are "monitoring the online activities of minors either through supervisory or technological means."

For Title II-D CIPA Compliance Certification, the FCC will require schools to certify the following through the yearly application process:

• Technology protection measure is in place that protects against Internet access to visual depictions of obscenity and child pornography when computers are in use by adults.
• A technology protection measure is in place that protects against Internet access to visual depictions of obscenity, child pornography and material harmful to minors when computers are in use by minors.
• The operation of the technology during computer use is being enforced.
