I have been running SquidGuard and Dansguardian successfully. The level of filtering is customizable. Having tried the alternative of running filtering software on each client and paying licenses, the Squidguard approach is very attractive. The Children's Internet Protection Act requires that schools and libraries establish filtering of inappropriate material (I'm not sure about the exact language of the law) if the school or library wants to qualify for E-Rate pricing (among other things).
