E-rate Help from the ICFL

The role of the Idaho Commission for Libraries is:

  • To approve your technology plan

CIPA Compliance

Once your Internet Safety and Acceptable Use Policies are in place, your library must decide if it wishes to filter and to what extent. The CIPA portion of the law does not require libraries to filter. Compliance is only necessary to participate in certain portions of the E-rate program and some LSTA funded initiatives. Libraries deciding to forego funds from these programs do not need to filter.

Technology Plan Approval Process

  • If a technology plan is required, it must be prepared prior to submitting Form 470 to SLD. It must be approved before the beginning of service (usually July 1st) or the submission of Form 486, whichever is earliest.
