7541 - ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

The Board of School Trustees is committed to maintaining and protecting the Corporation’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 Superintendent shall develop, test and maintain an Electronic Data Processing Disaster Recovery Plan for use in the event a disaster should disable the Corporation’s electronic data processing equipment.

The Plan may include:

1. adequate equipment insurance;
2. a list of the applications that are used by the Corporation;
3. procedures used to backup all programs and data on a daily, monthly, quarterly and year-end basis;
4. backup storage off-site;
5. maintenance agreements for hardware and software (including, but not limited to the operating system);
6. a list of vendor contacts to be called for the immediate replacement of disabled equipment or corrupted software;
7. as a last resort, the procedure to create payroll checks and budgetary checks, and perform other necessary accounting functions, manually.
