Yes, I agree with you on both counts, Roberta.
However, I continue to have concerns about using
the N2H2 filtering service in its present form.
I find it very difficult to accept that nearly
everyone in the district is subject to the same
filtering criteria. At the very least I would think
there should be separate filtering criteria for school
staff and students. Better but more difficult would
be separate criteria for high school, middle school, and
elementary school students.
Setting separate filtering specifications wouldn't
improve the bandwidth issue but it would make the
filtering process more appropriate to those
affected--which is nearly every user in the district
with an Internet connection. I am assuming that the N2H2
people can setup separate staff and student filtering
criteria based on Windows NT logon data--at least this
is how MS Proxy Server works.

Regarding Internet speed, and the lack thereof. The good news is that there
are so many more students and teachers using the Internet in meaningful
ways. The other good news is that Judy and IS are working so hard to bring
the district the best service their systems will allow at this point.
Thanks for all your efforts, IS.
