7541 - ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

The Board of Education is committed to maintaining and protecting the District's Information System. The Board believes that a complete and accurate Information System which includes educational, student, fiscal and personnel information is vital to the Board's ability to deliver uninterrupted educational service to the community it represents. To that end, the District Administrator is directed to develop, test and maintain an Electronic Data Processing Disaster Recovery Plan for use in the event a disaster should disable the District's electronic data processing equipment.

The Plan may include:

	A.	adequate equipment insurance;
	B.	procedures used to backup all programs and data on a daily, monthly, quarterly and year-end basis;
	C.	backup storage off-site;
	D.	a list of vendor contacts to be called for the immediate replacement of disabled equipment or corrupted software;
	E.	as a last resort, the procedure to create payroll checks and budgetary checks, and perform other necessary accounting functions.
