CIPA Compliance & K-12 Schools using GApps

Per Google Appls Advisor Ryan regarding the question "Is Google Apps email CIPA compliant?"

"You can find a list of our case studies (including K-12
schools) at this link here: http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/customers.html"

"As for legal compliance, Google Apps does not currently have anything
written into it's agreements that guarantees compliance. As you
probably know, compliance is set up by the user of the technology and
not the technology itself. With that said, Google can be set up in
such a manner that it will comply with legal requirements. For
example, if you would like to set up a mail gateway with an approval
system, this can be done. Google Apps have partners that can do it, or you can
set it up yourself. Here is a link for more information:
