Cyber Risk Insurance
The insurance coverage of Datalyze, LLC, the schools' Student Data Management vendor, covers only instances where Datalyze, LLC is to blame for errors or oversights. Its coverage does not cover other cyber risks.
The cost of the added coverage was discussed and believed to be low cost.
Trustees asked that l. Licygiewicz research if having this type of coverage is becoming a standard practice among other Charter Schools.
Pending no new information AND if L. Licygiewicz finds that this is becoming standard practice, the Committee recommends that the schools add the Cyber Risk insurance coverage.
