Senate Bill 820 amends the Education Code to require each public school district to adopt a cybersecurity policy that meets certain criteria and requires each district superintendent to designate a cybersecurity coordinator to serve as a liaison between the district and the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The bill requires the coordinator to report to TEA any cybersecurity incident that constitutes a breach of system security involving unauthorized access to sensitive, protected, or confidential student information and to notify an affected student's parent of an incident that requires such a report.
