Summary: KnowBe4 will allow our district to conduct regular phishing campaigns, provide cybersecurity training to staff, as well as monitor our district's cybersecurity awareness behavior.
Funding: The cost of a 3 yr. KnowBe4 subscription is $81,336.06 and is accounted for in the annual technology budget allocation.
