[MACEP] GOOGLE aps and domains

[Mike Cullum]

OK.  I have probably been wearing a tie for to many years, but I have to
ask.

How comfortable to you feel that we can guarantee compliance with CIPA if we
begin moving our students to using the full Google suite?  Does Google give
any administrative tools when you do a registered domain with them?
