Additionally,
- CFSD does not control or guarantee the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of information contained on a linked website that is not CFSD-sponsored.

Linking to CFSD Websites
Advance permission is not required to link to cfsd16.org or associated school websites and pages. CFSD may change the content of any cfsd16.org page at any time. Any individual or entity linking to a CFSD page is encouraged to regularly verify the content matches the originally intended purpose for the link.
