Board committee backs converting a network role into a cybersecurity specialist and forwards it to consent agenda
Summary
District technology staff proposed repurposing an existing network administrator role into a cybersecurity specialist to strengthen threat defense; the committee recommended forwarding the position change to the full board on consent with no net new cost reported.
District technology staff recommended converting an existing middle‑management network administrator position into a cybersecurity specialist to strengthen the district's proactive threat defenses and oversight of cybersecurity initiatives.
Mr. Kalis told the committee the proposed cybersecurity specialist would manage proactive threat defense, phishing mitigation training, multifactor authentication and single sign‑on processes. He said the change repurposes an existing position and "there's really no cost" because the district is not adding a new headcount; instead the title and job duties change.
Board members asked for salary or hourly estimates for the position; Kalis said he would provide compensation details. One board member moved to place the position on the consent agenda and the committee voice vote approved forwarding the recommendation to the full board.
The full job description and a compensation estimate will be provided prior to final action by the full board.
