Agenda Item Summary: ACPS has acquired Securly, a new internet content filter for student Chromebooks.
Background: An internet content filter is a technology that filters out unwanted categories of content while using the internet. These filters are required by Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and the Children’s Internet Protection Act.
