6.I. Approval of PII Data Review
Rationale

From Casey Woods:

This is an overview of what we do to protect student data.  There are a few additions – the State is looking at implementing a system they are calling CUE (Connected User Experience).  Right now, the RFP is out and the system hasn’t been selected.  This system will help automate account creation (for new students and staff) and disabling accounts (for those staff leaving or students withdrawning).  We remove the administrative role for accounts moving forward.  This should help prevent malware from installing on devices.

 

With our accounts connected to so many systems (Infinite Campus, Online Instruction tools – ie Clever, and soon Munis) it is very important that we protect our accounts and have systems in place to help protect the accounts.
