If you find an inappropriate web site that is not being properly blocked, follow these steps to report it. Please do not skip any steps or stop before you are instructed to.  If you don't follow the procedure listed below, the site will NOT be blocked.

1. Check if the site is on Cyber Patrol's NOT list. (We use this list.)

a) Go to http://mtas.surfcontrol.com/mtas/MTAS.asp
b) Enter the web site address in the box (without the http:// part.)
c) Click the button to check.
2. If you are told that the site IS on the list, stop here. Wait a day or two for our server to get an updated list, and try the site again. If the site is still not blocked after a couple days, or if NO sites are being blocked on a particular PC, please fill out a ticket on K12-Tracker.
3. If you are told that the site is NOT on the list, you can continue...
4. Report the site to SurfControl.

a) Click on "Suggest a Site". 
b) After the form has been filled out, click the "Submit" button.
c) Wait for the confirmation screen to appear.  It will say something to the affect that "Your suggestion will be reviewed for placement on the CyberNOT List"
d) The web site should be blocked within one to two weeks.
5. If after two weeks, the site still appears as NOT in the CyberNOT list (Step 1) please send an e-mail to Site Review (two words) using GroupWise, or WebAccess.  Include the URL,  which school(s) you feel should not have access to the site, the approximate date you reported the site to Cyber Patrol, and a short description of why you feel the site should be blocked.
