Board of Education Ad Hoc Curriculum Committee Meeting - June 3, 2026

The Greenwich Public Schools Board of Education Ad Hoc Curriculum Committee meeting on June 3, 2026, focused extensively on the district's cybersecurity measures and technology use in schools. IT department representatives detailed the layered cybersecurity approach, including network filtering via IBOS, device-based filtering with Security software on K-8 devices, and Google AI monitoring of student and staff accounts. They discussed the challenges of protecting students both at school and at home, especially noting that high school devices currently lack the Security software protection installed on younger students' devices. The committee explored issues such as filtering policies, monitoring alerts, device management, and the limitations posed by personal devices and cellular networks. Questions were raised about the costs and feasibility of expanding protections, the role of school-level tech staff, and balancing technology use with educational needs, particularly for younger students. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during the meeting, but budgetary constraints and potential future technology investments were acknowledged.
