Filtering

Web Content Filtering

REMC1 uses a system called Fortigate from Fortiguard for filtering web pages. There are over 50 categories that Fortigate uses for filtering.

If you would like to know what category an individual site is listed under, please check their rating site.

If you would like a site unblocked, or an override created, you should contact your district’s administration for approval.

If you have questions about which categories are being filtered, you can contact REMC1.

All website access is logged. All user overrides are fully tracked by user id and IP address.

Email Spam Filtering

REMC1 schools use Google Apps for Education (GAFE) for email services, and rely on Google for spam filtering. All spam reporting and review is in the Gmail web interface.
