How does anyone know if the filtering software is blocking a site? If WebSense is responsible for blocking access to a Web site, users will see a screen appear that has the FCPS logo, and a message stating “Access has been denied to…<>…in accordance with Regulation 6410″ Can teachers/administrators have unblocked accounts that let them bypass/over-ride the blocking and have access to an unfiltered site? Staff members are able to obtain an employee account that will allow them to have unfiltered access via a “logon” signature. Principal/Program Manager permission is required. Various support personnel can assist with this process. Can schools block/unblock sites? Yes. Schools can allow students to gain access to a site that is blocked OR add sites to the list of sites to which students are denied access. The software allows individual schools (ES, MS, and HS) to have customized access lists that are unique to their school. Technical support is available at each location. C
