The Green River Schools Board of Trustees approved a revision to CKA (firearms) policy on its third reading and moved forward a sizable package of new technology and security policies.

During the meeting Miss Covey and Speaker 14 (district policy presenter) told trustees that the Super 8 committee reviewed the CKA firearms policy and recommended no changes. Speaker 14 asked for approval of the third reading; the board voted in favor.

The board also considered second readings of two communications policies (ECA district cell phones and EGAC telephone services) and approved them as presented. Speaker 14 said both policies came from the Super 8 Committee with no recommended adjustments.

A larger set of technology and security policies received first-reading approval. Speaker 14 thanked Mr. Williams, Mrs. Higbee and Ms. Birmingham of the Super 8 Committee for their work and described highlights of the package, which included an employee acceptable use policy for district technology and multiple security-focused policies: assigned security responsibilities, audit controls, facility access controls, information system activity review, risk management, contingency planning, data breach management, response and reporting, and security incident procedures. Mr. Williams (identified in the presentation as the district Technology Director / Security Officer in policy drafts) was noted as a key implementation lead for several items.

Speaker 14 summarized the intent of the policies: to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability of district information systems, identify critical systems for audit logging, maintain access controls and develop incident-response and contingency plans. The board moved and approved each policy reading presented (first readings and second readings as noted).
