Nov 14, 2022 1:02 pm

Mid-Hudson News reports that the Hunter-Tannersville Central School District failed the state comptroller’s IT audit. Officials at the mountaintop schools did not adequately manage or monitor non-student network user accounts or develop a written information technology contingency plan, the audit by the state comptroller’s office reported. The audit looked at records between July 1, 2020 and July 27, 2021 and found officials did not disable 31 unneeded network user accounts of the 225 enabled non-student accounts. Some of those accounts were with former employees and substitute teachers that were never employed by the district. Hunter-Tannersville school officials also did not have a written IT contingency plan or store back-up data off site. District officials said they agreed with the audit recommendations and are implementing corrective action. Read more about this story at Mid-Hudson News.
