FAIRFIELD ISD to replace district firewall after reported breach; board approves purchase from ESC 12

FAIRFIELD ISD Board · November 10, 2025

Summary

Trustees approved purchasing a new district firewall system from ESC 12 after staff reported the existing firewall is aging and the district experienced a recent breach.

District IT staff, represented by Mr. Thill, recommended replacing the district's firewall because the current device is aged and the district experienced a recent security breach. Trustees voted 7–0 to authorize purchase of a replacement firewall from ESC 12; the motion was made by Kim Whitaker and seconded by Jeff Wright.

Minutes do not state the replacement cost or technical specifications; the action authorizes staff to proceed with procurement through ESC 12 and to implement the new system as part of district IT security remediation efforts.
