Board adopts resolution prohibiting unauthorized ransomware payments
Summary
As part of Treasurer recommendations the board adopted a resolution prohibiting any employee, officer, or agent of the district from authorizing ransomware payments unless expressly approved by formal board resolution, citing Ohio Revised Code 9.64.
The board adopted a formal resolution stating that no employee, officer, or agent of the Claymont City School District shall authorize, negotiate, or make any ransomware payment or otherwise comply with a ransom demand unless expressly approved by a formal resolution of the Board of Education in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 9.64.
The resolution was included among Treasurer recommendations approved on a roll-call vote. The minutes record the board's action as a district-level cybersecurity and procurement policy intended to centralize and formalize any decision involving ransomware payments; administrators did not present a specific incident at the meeting.
