Updated IT Policies Coming

Two IT Board policies were reviewed by the School Board at an
August 7th workshop. Policy 2.036, Breach of Personal Information,
addresses the manner in which the District will respond to unauthorized
access and acquisition of computerized data that compromises the
security and confidentiality of unencrypted personal information.

Updates to Policy 2.036 include the details of the responsibility for
employees, consultants, and vendors to report possible breaches as
well as actual breaches of personal information. This policy supports
the Florida Statute that requires specific processes and timelines be
followed for providing notice of breaches to the Florida Department of
Legal Affairs, credit reporting agencies, and affected parties. PBSD
2344, Personal Identification Security Possible Breach Report, is used
to report breaches to the District Security Officer.

Policy 8.125, Website Review and Filtering, identifies the processes
and criteria used by IT and Educational Technology to filter website
access, and has been updated to remain compliant with Florida Statute
and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Website filtering
criteria includes:

• Website has access to pictures that are obscene, showing nudity,
sexual acts, or harmful to minors; or allows students to disclose
or disseminate personal information, E-rate requirements of CIPA
(Children’s Internet Protection Act).
• Website contains content that is lewd, lascivious, vulgar, obscene or
harmful to minors.
• Website has access to chat rooms (students), blogs (students),
guest books, dating services, non-District email capabilities and/or
non-educational games.
• Website contains excessive violence, promotes hate, racism, or
encourages illegal activity.
• Website materially and substantially interferes with the work of the
school or infringes upon the rights of other students.
• Website contains material violating copyright or other intellectual
property rights.
• Website has no educational value.
• Website could impair or compromise the security or performance of
the District’s information systems.

Employees must open a Service Request in eSupport to request that a
specific website be blocked or unblocked.

Students may submit an anonymous request to a school staff member
or administrator, who can then submit the request through eSupport.
