This is the policy update for Information and Technology Services section 7.00 of the Clay County District Schools Board policy. This update provides additions to adhere to current legislation and updates the language for policies as set forth from the Florida State Auditor's Office. These updates include the required Student Internet Safety Policy (as required by FS 1003.02) as well as Staff Internet Safety Policy. These are new requirements of the legislation and must be board policy as well as reviewed and updated yearly. 

Updates to the policy include: Privacy statement updates to further define privacy in the organization, retention timeframes for email, as well as the handling of email updates,  grammatical error corrections, the specifications for Incident Response, Electronic Data Security Breach, and Disaster Recovery. 

These additions are a new requirement as per the State Auditor’s Office and are best practices for use in the organization. The standardization and definition of the devices utilized on the Clay County District Schools network allows us to further define what devices are permitted and proper procedure for devices such as donated devices, district devices, and personal devices.

The policy needs to be updated to comply with current legislation and align with new technologies and security practices.
