INQUIRY--State Mandated AUP?

[Wilma Wolner <0088wels@INFORMNS.K12.MN.US>]

LM_NETters:

        Here in Indiana, the Governor's Office and other agencies in
state government have come together to require that every public school
district in the state have a local board-adopted Acceptable Use Policy
for Internet.  Further, there is a shopping list of requirements the
language of the policies must meet, and the policies must be submitted to
the state DOE for approval and archiving.
        My question is, is any other state mandating this kind of policy
adoption?  If so, what kind of specific requirements are being dictated?
        By the way, for those interested, available on the web at
<http://doe.state.in.us/LearningResources/aup123> are the Indiana state
AUP requirements and a sample policy developed by the state which meets
the requirements.
