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

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.

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.

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

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.

Can you share with us some of the ways that New Hampshire schools have worked together to reduce the burden of expensive cybersecurity tools and services?

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

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.

That is great. Thank you.

In at least some cases can interrupt student learning time, too.
