3.2. Future Ready Digital Learning Collaborative (FRDLC)
Speaker(s):
Technology Director
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
ESUs are continuing to implement Proofpoint Security Awareness Training with their schools. We currently have 99 schools and ESUs who have signed up to use the product. Based on NOC feedback, I am organizing training and work sessions on the topics where there have been questions or uncertainties. Signup for Duo Security licensing opens March 1, 2023 via a Google sign up form. The first sign-up period will be open through March 24, 2023. At that time we will determine the number of licenses requested and the final cost with subsidy. The per-user per-year cost may be as low as $2 in the first year or as high as $10, though the high end is unlikely based on our understanding of the need and interest. We have submitted a proposal to continue the Software Innovation Network and Dorann Avey submitted a proposal for other Future Ready-related work, including support for the Canvas consortium. The current round of Innovation funds is July, 2022 through June, 2025, though proposed legislation on the use of lottery funds may change the time window and availability of the funds. Discussion on the current Canvas Consortium with ESU 2.

3.3. Cybersecurity
Speaker(s):
Committee Chair
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
We are tracking the progress of LB638 (proposed by ESUCC), LB651 and LB635. The Nebraska Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act cyber security grant committee is opening applications for sub-grants on March 1, 2023 and will accept applications in the first window through April 30, 2023. The committee meets again on March 9, 2023 and will likely clarify the requirement to complete the National Cyber Security Review self-assessment either before applying for funds or within the scope of submitted projects. After the application window, the committee members will finalize scores and award sub-grants to the highest-scoring projects as funds are available. In the first year, priority is given to assessment-related projects which will provide the committee with aggregate data to understand where needs are and how to best apply funds in the future years of the program. Also on the agenda for today’s meeting is NOC’s recommendation for your endorsement of the joint ESU NOC and NATA letter regarding cybersecurity priorities.
