Summary
Trustees approved two Ohio Emergency Management Agency consent agreements for FEMA-funded cybersecurity services and authorized the treasurer to pursue unclaimed state funds; both actions passed on 5yes roll-call votes.
The West Clermont Local School District board on Dec. 8 approved two consent agreements tied to the Ohio Persistent Cybersecurity Improvement (OPCI) program and authorized the treasurer and assistant treasurer to seek the district state-held unclaimed funds.
A district staff presenter described the OPCI agreements as pass-through arrangements under which FEMA-allocated funds made available to Ohio are applied to cybersecurity initiatives that benefit local school districts. The presenter said the two agreements cover funding years FY22 and FY24 and confirm the district will receive cybersecurity services funded through the state.
"These refer to the Ohio Persistent Cyber Improvement Training Grama that we are engaged in," the presenter said, explaining the source of funding and that it benefits the district from a cybersecurity standpoint.
Separately, the treasurer requested board authorization for the treasurer and assistant treasurer to file claims for unclaimed funds held by the state in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code; the board approved that authorization by roll call. Both items were approved on voice/roll-call votes recorded as 5 yes.
