Summary

The Marion Co School Dist board approved the district's annual insurance renewal after a staff presentation that said the district's combined property and cyber premiums were down by roughly $70,000 this year.
Presenter Eddie Breakfield told the board the Mississippi School Boards Association and market conditions contributed to the reduced premium. On cyber insurance, staff said attempts at breaches are continual and the district tracks incidents and reporting; staff also referenced phishing attempts and routine intrusion efforts but did not report a confirmed, successful breach affecting district systems.
After discussion the board voted to approve the renewal. Board members said they were pleased by the savings but cautioned the market could change next year, and they asked staff to continue monitoring cyber threats and vendor performance.
