Consortium Offers Unfiltered Advice on Filtering Software The consortium has established a Web site -- underwritten by filtering company N2H2, the Education
Networks of America and America Online -- that provides additional information about the Safeguarding the
Wired Schoolhouse iniatiative. The site includes information to help administrators to evaluate whether they
should install Internet filters, rely on acceptable use policies or use a combination of both. The consortium
advocates that, at a minimum, schools should enact acceptable use policies for all district computer users.
Acceptable use policies, typically signed by students, parents and school personnel, outline a district's rules
for using its computer equipment.
