Summary
At its Nov. meeting the Massapequa Union Free School District board opened a 30-day first reading to adopt NIST Cybersecurity Framework version 2 for policy 8635, citing stronger governance and supply-chain guidance, with formal adoption targeted for Jan. 8.
The Massapequa Union Free School District Board of Education opened a 30-day first reading to update its information and data-breach policy by adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework version 2.
Mr. Piotrowski, who presented the policy change, said NIST CSF 2 (2024) expands governance and leadership accountability, broadens applicability beyond education institutions and offers strengthened guidance on supply-chain security and modern threats. "This will really just strengthen our posture and the expectations for our infrastructure and all of our systems and the data as well, and aligns to current recommendations," he said.
The board set a 30-day review period and a planned adoption vote for the Jan. 8 board meeting. No substantive debate was recorded at the Nov. meeting and no public testimony was offered on the cybersecurity item.
If approved, the change will codify the district's alignment with the NIST framework in policy 8635, which governs breach response and notification. The board did not provide implementation dates or a budget for any follow-on technical work in this session.
