Board reviews and waives second reading on technology and student-use policy update
Summary
District staff recommended updating the employee and student technology-use policy to add multifactor authentication, clarify terminology and explicitly reference FERPA and HIPAA; the board moved to approve and waive second reading so provisions can be implemented when staff return.
District staff presented an update to the employee and student-technology-use policy and recommended waiver of the second reading so the changes would be in effect when staff return for the school year.
The staff member described the edits as largely administrative — replacing the word "agreement" with "acknowledgment" — but added substantive cybersecurity and privacy safeguards, including multifactor authentication and explicit references to FERPA and HIPAA protections. The presenter said this change would be part of employees' annual signings and routine information-security steps. After brief discussion there was a motion and a roll-call approval.
The board did not request further edits on record and moved the policy forward for implementation as part of staff onboarding for the coming school year.
