We have a Board of education that has crafted a blocking list. The problem
is that the person who keept track of the sites is no longer at the board.

The folks at one of the services like net-nanny sells there blocking
list. The only problem is that the list costs US$60K plus update costs.
What may make sense is for a group of squid users to get together and
licence the software and share the costs.
