Subs are nearly impossible to find, and we are using our Wednesdays for planning time. Purchase books and supplies. Teachers are finding they need more supplies that can be distributed to all students, so the added budget of $20,000 will go to purchase books and supplies requested by teachers. Pay for Actively Learn subscription. The 7th and 8th grade teachers have requested a subscription to Actively Learn, a web based program that spans the content areas, and offers a platform for students and teachers to interact over the computer. It costs $4,675. Pay for Science Supplies. Larissa Walder asked for NSA to provide funding for Science specific supplies for hands on activities that students can participate in through distance learning. We have provided $10,000 for these supplies. Pay for Subscription Services for each grade level.

15.1Approval of Response to Grand Jury Request – “Ransomware: It is Not Enough to Think You Are Protected”Action
Item details
Rationale: The Grand Jury issued the Redwood City School District their annual report, which focuses on city and county government computer systems at risk for ransomware attacks. Ransomware has already hit many governmental Information Technology (IT) systems in the San Mateo County. In December 2019, the Grand Jury sent an online survey to all 68 public entities in San Mateo County. They received 37 survey responses and interviewed several responders including one IT Manager (who had refused to respond to the survey for fear of being successfully attacked once again), for a total of 38 responses via survey and interview. More than 25% of the public entities responding to the Grand Jury reported that they have been a victim of one or more ransomware attacks. This report is intended to present “best practices” in developing a Cybersecurity strategy, then implementing and testing that plan. It addresses actions that can be taken (and have been taken, in some cases) in order to guard against Ransomware attacks, recover from an attack and the additional measures that can be taken to reduce the possibility of an attack. However, it is not an expose´ with details of potential system weaknesses, in light of the need for Cybersecurity strategies and practices to be highly confidential. As such, this report walks the line between providing an informed discussion of potential concerns without providing a road map of how to breach public government IT systems. Financial Impact: None.
