Interim superintendent reports cyber security event; board raises state-aid concerns as district posts $10.3M in November spending
Summary
Interim Superintendent Jared told the board a cyber security event affected district systems and staff are working around the clock; the board reviewed a November check register showing $10,310,776.10 in spending and discussed possible federal changes to education funding and what that might mean for state aid distributions.
Interim Superintendent Jared told the board that the district experienced a cyber security event this week that affected many systems. "...our cyber security event, which has impacted many of our systems this week," he said, and thanked district IT and operations staff, including Mr. Beebe, for working around the clock to restore services. Jared said the district would keep staff and the public informed and expressed hope that internet service would resume by the following afternoon.
Earlier in the finance discussion, Miss Curry presented the November state aid status report and the November check register. She reported that for the month of November the district spent $10,310,776.10. Curry also noted that the investment report was not available and would be presented at the next month's finance meeting, likely covering two months of activity.
Board members raised a separate but related concern about possible federal-level changes to the Department of Education and whether such a change would affect federal funding streams that support special education and other programs. One board member asked whether state allocations would continue if a federal administrative change occurred; Miss Curry responded that, in broad terms, funds allocated to states would still be distributed and that the district would monitor the system for any changes. No formal financial action or vote was recorded during the meeting.
