Board approves cybersecurity package and vendor payment service contract
Summary
Trustees approved a cybersecurity software package administered through EduTech and a Repay contract for vendor payments intended to reduce fraud risk; the motions passed unanimously.
The Board approved an EduTech-administered cybersecurity software package and a vendor payment services contract with Repay, motions moved by Tish Kwiatkowski and seconded by Lisa Galek and passed 5-0. Administrators described the Repay agreement as potentially reducing check/ACH fraud and noted rebates could offset fees. The cybersecurity package (Xenex) was presented as a districtwide security tool to strengthen defenses and monitoring when coupled with EduTech services.
Why it matters: school districts face heightened cybersecurity risk; the Board authorized a vendor-payments contract that officials said may be cost-neutral if rebates fully offset fees, and a cybersecurity software purchase to bolster district defenses. Staff will monitor performance and report back on realized savings and security metrics.
