This guide provides a step-by-step checklist to help schools and libraries determine compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), a federal requirement for institutions receiving E-Rate or certain federal funds. It explains who is subject to CIPA, including K–12 schools, libraries, and private institutions receiving applicable funding.
