Developing and Implementing Technology Security Policies in K-12 Education

Contributed by Larry Jackson Jr

Because technology is becoming more and more integral to the education community every day, technology managers need to ensure they have well defined policies in place to assist in maintaining the technology that their users depend on. In this paper I will examine the currently accepted principals for implementing Information Security policies in a K-12 educational environment. I will attempt to show an efficient and effective approach that details what steps and considerations should be taken when deciding policies and procedures. Finally I will attempt to convey the importance of a sound security policy and the possible impact of poorly designed and executed policies in an educational environment.
