Last December, Bryan ISD school board members heard from the parent of a high school student who called for screening unwanted content on BISD email accounts and document sharing that the district uses from Google.
During Monday’s BISD board meeting, technology director Julea Johnson told the board that software that was purchased has worked so far.
The software was purchased because Google, which is BISD’s provider for e-mails and document sharing, does not provide screening services.
The mother told the board she found images of naked body parts in her child’s BISD e-mail account.
Johnson also reported that the district is receiving updates from the Homeland Security and National Cybersecurity Task Force. That includes weekly reports of suspicious website domains and other protective measures.
