43 percent of Americans retired...are thinking about coming out of retirement.

The Greatest Generation, that grew up in the Depression, fought a World War, highest debt we ever had, paid it off, built the interstate highways.

What .gov does is provides a verifiable identity for entities; whether that is a municipality, whether that is a K-12 district, it does not matter.

Got it.

In 2018, the New Hampshire legislature passed a law requiring the State Department of Education to establish minimum standards for the privacy and security of student data.

I take to heart the relationship-building part of it when you speak with task forces post terrorist events, for instance.

I think it is also important that people understand the impacts of a cyberattack on a K-12 school system.

I truly appreciate the discussion today. I thank you all for coming before the Subcommittee to discuss what is clearly a really important topic to a lot of us.

Thank you so much. Mr. Rossi.

That is great. Thank you.

Is it fair to say--I am looking at kind of how we talk about what K-12 schools in New Hampshire, what steps they have taken to date to implement this law.

How are K-12 schools involved in the process of applying for and awarding this Federal grant in New Hampshire?

I spearheaded an effort to create a Federal grant program specifically targeted at improving the cybersecurity of State and local governments.

the creation of a government coordinating council to focus on K-12 cybersecurity.

I think, the biggest takeaway I hope people watching today or listening to this or reading about it will take is that this is a responsibility that rests with each and every one of us.

I urged the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Education to improve their coordination efforts to protect K-12 schools from cyberattacks.

If something could be developed maybe at the U.S. Department of Education, I think that that would really help vendors comply with the standards.
