IT director outlines cybersecurity work, SAT digital transition and a proposal to become Chromebook parts 'warehouse'
Summary
IT Director Jered Rush updated the board on cybersecurity, preparing for a digital SAT, testing YouTube recordings of meetings, and proposed exploring a Chromebook parts 'warehouse' arrangement to secure parts at a discount.
IT Director Jered Rush told the board he is implementing cyber security updates and preparing systems for the digital SAT. He said he is testing a YouTube channel for recording board meetings to improve public access and is considering a hybrid on-premises/cloud server to support staff who occasionally work remotely.
Rush proposed exploring a Chromebook "warehouse" model so the district would receive parts at a 50% discount and distribute parts to other entities — a plan he said would give the district first access to scarce Chromebook parts while creating a new distribution responsibility. He also described hands-on PC repair work in his elective class to improve student retention.
