Data Privacy Policy 
The Board of Education (the “Board”) acknowledges the heightened concern regarding the rise in identity theft and the need for secure networks and prompt notification when security breaches occur. Thus, the Board adopts the National Institute for Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1 (NIST CSF) for data security and protection. The Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) is responsible for ensuring that the District’s systems follow NIST CSF and adopt technologies, safeguards and practices which align with it. This will include an assessment of the District’s current cybersecurity state, their target future cybersecurity state, opportunities for improvement, progress toward the target state, and communication about cybersecurity risk.
