Mr. Calvert updated the board on ESUCC meetings last week. ESSER's funds are still out there. Scott Isaacson had $800,000 to spend in less than a week, so a very tight turn over. Cyber security is at the forefront of schools as they are getting more and more ransomware. Districts are waiting for Alicap to provide more cyber coverage and for funding to help with a cyber security department. Sen Walhz is set to attend the next ADCO meeting. Mr. Calvert played the ESU 15 jingle for the board to hear. The board liked the jingle and it can be added to the website. There will be a two-day Crisis training at the end of the month. ESU 15 offers our services to any school dealing with a crisis. | |
