Frankie Jackson met with Jennifer Miller on December 20, 2017 to
review the Trusted Learning Environment
(TLE) open action items and initiatives. We talked about how we
can continue to move forward as we are in a
transitional state since David LaPlante, Security Specialist,
left the district.
Reflections:
• Need to implement a device encryption plan
• Need to implement an incident handling plan
• Need to update the Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) action
plan, including requesting consulting
services from Steve Smith (CoSN)
• Need TLE training for key staff
• Need to backfill David LaPlante’s Security Specialist
position
• Need to prepare for the District Support Team meeting
scheduled for January 2018.
• Need to continue push to get the TLE application submitted by
March 30, 2018.
Jennifer brought Eric Pena to the meeting as he will now be
serving in
the interim to support the building of our district’s TLE. He’s
also
stepped up to manage the KnowB4 e-mail cyber security
phishing
software. So far he is doing an amazing job.
The following are the
reflections resulting
from the meeting.

Technology Services Shows Generosity to
Students at Danish Elementary School
The Technology Services department rallied up to
collect Christmas gifts for students at Danish
Elementary school. Thanks to Kim Bowlin for
organizing the coordination between Danish staff
and our department, as well as Katie Hernandez for
tracking the needs and sizes of the four (4) children
that were adopted by our staff.
Each of the children were provided shoes and
clothes and toys! The picture to the right shows
some of the wrapped gifts that were provided. It was
heart warming to see the generosity extended to

December 22, 2017
The ending of the year stirs up many emotions
ranging from watching the generosity of our team
to gratitude for our department’s leadership, to
having fun, to seeing the efforts of our hard work
bringing innovation and coming to fruition. As I drove out
of
the parking lot and knowing that I was approaching a two
week break, I felt blessed to be part of a K-12 public
education school system that is bar none, the best in the
nation, knowing it would never be any better than this in
this
moment right now. Happy New Year - Frankie Jackson
