School has been affected by this recent breach. 

A few student and staff data was exposed and the Board has been asked to recommend the best method of notification. NYSED has provided a form that is required by the school. 

The school has CyberSecurity insurance.  The breach was not on the end of the School but it was on the end of PowerSchool.  Especially since we are a school, the insurance may already have coverage and other items lined up. 

Does the school have legal counsel or requirement. DOE has not stated anything as of yet only the State level. 

Jarrod Sowell has volunteered to research and support this matter.

The Board has suggested that notification should be prepared and distributed to those who were affected.  Notification will need to be drafted for presentation.  

The Board suggested conversing with other schools that this may have affected. 

Monday finance call meeting took place,  Enrollment is moving steady, numbers are running a little lower than anticipated.  A few kids have moved out of state within the last few weeks.  
If needed budget admentment will be presented to the Board at a later date based on enrollment .

All other activities are moving along as planned.
