How will my librarys connection to the K20 Network be affected if we choose not to meet the requirements of CIPA?
Connection to the statewide K20 Network requires neither filtering nor compliance with the CIPA regulations. Cost to participate, however, may be affected. The quarterly billing received by your library for use of the network includes both the cost for data circuits and ISP (Internet Service Provider) charges. The circuit fee falls under the E-rate category of “telecommunications” and IS NOT subject to CIPA. This cost will not vary regardless of your library filtering status. The second portion of your bill, ISP charges, IS subject to CIPA. The public library K20 consortium will receive a 50% E-rate discount for FY03. If your library chooses to be fully CIPA compliant and has filed an FCC Form 479 indicating this with the State Library, any savings realized will be passed back to the consortium members.
