The Sweetwater County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees will meet on Tuesday to discuss 10 new technology and security policies, including guidelines around employee use of personal devices for district business, audit controls, information system activity review, and risk and data breach management.

Why it matters

As schools increasingly rely on technology, it's important for districts to have clear policies in place to protect data, ensure appropriate use of devices, and manage security risks. These new policies aim to provide a framework for technology use and security within the district.

The details

The proposed policies cover a range of technology and security topics. The longest policy, on employee acceptable use of technology, would require employees using personal devices for district business to consent to device searches, unless the communication was also sent to a school administrator, district server or another accessible device. Other policies address audit controls, information system activity review, and risk and data breach management.

The public is encouraged to attend the school board meeting on Tuesday to provide input on the proposed technology and security policies.
