Web Content Filtering

Access to certain inappropriate areas of the World Wide Web and other Internet resources are blocked from the Department of Education network. We are blocking access to Internet sites with the following content.

The Web Content Filtering vendor uses category definitions to assign each site to the appropriate category.

According to Websense, in case of uncertainty, a collaborative decision is made as to whether a site is included and in what category it is placed. Additionally, the Master Database is continually checked for accuracy and quality. Net Partners does not make value judgments with regards to the categories or sites with the WebSENSE Master Database. The categories have been selected based on feedback from the business and education communities regarding what would be deemed unacceptable, inappropriate, or undesirable in a business or school setting with regard to employee productivity, student safety, or threat of legal action.

Additional school-site filtering: By installing a dedicated content filter to run Websense on their LAN, schools can choose to further restrict access to additional Internet content categories that are not currently blocked. We have purchased a site license for the Websense software, schools can use the software at no cost to the school. All DOE schools are blocked from accessing the content categories filtered at the state level.
