SUMMARY:Cybersecurity in Today’s Learning Environments: What School Leaders Must Know and Do Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Doug Brubaker\, Superintendent\, Texarkana Independent School District (TX); Lorrie Owens\, Chief Technology Officer\, Integrated Technology Services\, San Mateo County Office of Education (CA); and Glenn Robbins\, Superintendent\, Brigantine Public Schools (NJ)\nModerated by Ann McMullan\, Project Director\, CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) EmpowerED Superintendents Initiative \nTwo school district superintendents and the chief technology officer of a county office of education share the strategies they use to analyze a network’s cybersecurity status as well as how to build and sustain school networks that are created to maximize security. They will also explain the processes they have established to respond to a network attack if such an event occurs. \nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. This program may qualify for CoSN CETL® Recertification. \nAs school districts continue to be targeted and severely impacted by cyberattacks\, it is incumbent upon school leaders to know how to prevent such attacks on their networks and how to respond to cyberattacks should they occur. Superintendents\, working in collaboration with their technology leaders\, must know how to create and lead the processes required to protect their districts’ networks from cyberattacks. They must also be able to communicate the importance of school district cybersecurity both internally\, within all areas of their school systems\, and externally with parents\, vendors\, and the broader school community. \nIn this edLeader Panel\, two school district superintendents and the chief technology officer of a county office of education share the strategies they use to analyze a network’s cybersecurity status as well as how to build and sustain school networks that are created to maximize security. They will also explain the processes they have established to respond to a network attack if such an event occurs. \nThis edLeader Panel is of particular value to superintendents\, K-12 school and district leaders\, and aspiring school leaders. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to the panelists during the live broadcast. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Doug Brubaker joined Texarkana Independent School District as Superintendent in January 2021.

Establishment of a dedicated funding stream for technology upgrades was a key accomplishment. Dr. Brubaker has CoSN CETL certification and a Ph.D. in educational computing from the University of North Texas. \n\nLorrie Owens has served as the chief technology officer for the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) in Redwood City\, CA since 2004.
