A report that focused on the role of the director of education in the 小蓝视频 East Cornerstone Public School Division (SECPSD) regarding fiscal responsibility was filed with the division鈥檚 governance board at their April 22 online public meeting.
The report read out by Shelley Toth, the chief financial officer for the division, contained the information that Lynn Little, the director of education had complied with all six major categories and subsections required by the governance and funding groups.
The report contained information that the division had operated in a fiscally responsible manner and adhered to recognized accounting procedures and that Little had also ensured insurance coverage was in place to protect assets, indemnify liabilities and provided for reasonable risk management.
Toth went on to say the director had approved emergency expenditures and change orders on approved projects up to $100,000 and had informed the board of any expenditure above $50,000. One item, she noted, was the approved purchase of a reading program for a three-year term at a cost of just over $314,000.
Security and continuity of the business and security systems regarding information management and technology assets as approved by administration procedures, also received a thumbs-up.
The report provided thorough details regarding the logging of all information technology (IT) interruptions and how the administration provided an annual review of service levels and incidents that were reported to the board.
All the servers, routers, switches and firewalls were configured to maintain a security log that is reviewed centrally by the information systems department headed by Brian Belinsky.
The security area of the monitoring report provided additional information regarding six incidents within the past year when the system was breached but also noted that all six were rated as Class 4 meaning a minor impact on the information system generally brought about by an error by users. There were no emergency, critical or major classification breaches reported.
The reporters added that investigative processes and conclusions were included in the report for the board members to review.
Having had the time to review the full report well in advance of the April 22 meeting, the board members were in full agreement that Little and the SECPSD administration had complied with all requirements.聽
