Join members of KSDE Information Technology (IT) staff for an informative session on matters that impact all of our day to day lives. Cybersecurity/Data Privacy are significant topics that impact us all. Learn more about initiatives and best practices from our agency to help safeguard your students and staff. What resource is the most valuable that we are all working to protect? Data. Our data is necessary for most everything we do. We will also cover the importance of the data that is reported to KSDE, how it is used and the importance of data quality. Our new Kansas Education Data System (KEDS) is a step in the right direction to more timely and accurate data. KSDE IT staff will give an update on this project as well as other new and exciting projects that are in progress.
