Re: [seul-edu] CIPA and Linux
I have been sick, so I am just now adding to this thread. A couple of
things to point out are the time frames involved and the actual
requirements for the technology. Here are a few links to help sort out
a few issues.
Items to note: The focus of the issue is "visual depictions" and there
is a time frame if there is not a policy AND technology solution in
place that allows a year for implementing a solution.

& A

I hope this helps with some of the details and urgency concerns.
