Board Policies3000 Business & Instruction Support Operations
The protection of sensitive data and technology, including, but not limited to Internet access, privacy, electronic mail, hardware, software, and cloud resources, is vital in supporting teaching and learning through access to resources, information, learning activities, interpersonal communications, research, training, collaboration, curriculum, and materials.
The School Board recognizes data/information as a resource that must be protected from unauthorized access or use and as such supports a balance of security and access. The Board expects District staff, student, and parent data to be protected by adequate controls commensurate with the sensitivity of the data.
The Board directs the Superintendent to develop and maintain an effective Information Security Program and associated regulations and protocols for the protection of sensitive District information. Such regulations will include developing appropriate controls to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of District information.
