We are currently working on transitioning to our new filter. The new filter will give us much more flexibility and security for the network. However, there are also literally hundreds of settings and check boxes to “get right”. Thus, we are hard at work “getting things right”.
This means that there may be some temporary bumps in the road. Well, actually, it means that there will be some bumps in the road. But we’ll work through those bumps as quickly as possible.
Our end goal is to balance easy of use, ubiquitous access, appropriate access and security for all users. This is quite a challenge. First graders should have a different experience than a senior in High School. The senior in High School should have a different experience than a teacher. Please remember that there are federal laws that govern some of the choices that we make.
Thus, things may be working differently on a day to day basis. Once we have everything worked out, we’ll roll out the new filter to all users. We’ll probably then have to make some adjustments. In fact, since technology and the web is ever changing, we will need to continually make slight adjustments.
Thank you for your patience.
