“You’ve been St. Bernarded.” The phrase should ring familiar for many Greenwich High School students who have tried to access social Internet sites like Facebook and Twitter on school computers, only to be blocked by a St. Bernard Software-brand Web filter. The filter is not the only tool Greenwich’s public schools have employed to ensure that students and staff are using computers only for safe and educational purposes. The district also has the ability to monitor the usage of its roughly 2,200 computers at 15 schools and the central office.
