Re: content filter policy

We also use Watchguard products and fully utilize the category approach.

We limit the following categories:

Adult

Crime

Personal - only one selection - but it's personal :)

Shopping - advertisements

Computers - proxies, mobile downloads, peer to peer, spam


These are most of the default settings. However, that being said, since
it's easy to make changes to the gui, if a teacher needs something
"unblocked" I can make the change, close it again at the end of the
class period, and follow up with the teacher to submit a formal change
if they believe it's a necessary educational site.
