Frank Vander Horst, YCESA e- Rate Director, reminds schools of the vital need to be aware of the growing incidence of cyberattacks. As reported by Politico, schools should prepare for more frequent cyberattacks as remote learning continues during the corona virus pandemic. The FBI warned of this danger in a recent Private Industry Notification. The bureau stated that K-12 institutions “represent an opportunistic target” due to a combination of increased remote learning, Yavapai County School Employees limited cybersecurity budgets and high susceptibility to extortion.

Doug Ducey will use an additional $270 million from the federal CARES Act funding to assist schools in paying for safety protocols, technology and remedial courses. These Distance Learning Gap funds come from the $850 million for education through the CARES Act, of which the governor can use $270 million at his discretion.

In the Arizona program, individuals can divert up to $593 a year (double that for couples) to the scholarship organizations. Many states, including Arizona and Montana, bar state aid to religious schools. Courts have ruled, however, that the diversion of tax receipts does not necessarily undermine providing state funds for public education. Since that ruling, Arizona has enacted the “empowerment scholarship accounts” program where parents receive vouchers of state dollars to send their children to private and parochial schools. The judges also found no violation of a separate constitutional provision that bars public funds from being used to subsidize

Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

    CSA Weekly Update November 9, 2018 A research and advocacy association, supporting efficient, responsive county government in Arizona. In the November 9, 2018 CSA Weekly Update: Thank You for Your Service Veterans! PSPRS Briefs County Managers General Election Preliminary Results APA Arizona State Planning Conference Thank You for Your Service Veterans! This weekend we observe the Veterans Day holiday. Veterans Day has its origins in Armistice Day, which was first acknowledged by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The first anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, ending WWI, took place “in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” For that reason, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday on November 11, 1938. However, in 1968, the signing of the Uniform Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Many states did not agree with this and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates, causing confusion. Therefore, on September 20, 1975 President Gerald Ford signed legislation returning Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. In honor of all the men and woman who served and continue to serve our great country, thank you!

We performed the investigation to determine the amount of public monies misused, if any, during that period. The investigation consisted primarily of inquiries, observations, examination of selected financial records and other documentation, and selected tests of internal control over the District’s cash collections. The investigation was not conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and was more limited than would be necessary to ensure we discovered all misused public monies or to give an opinion on internal controls. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls or ensure that all deficiencies are disclosed. The Financial Investigation Report describes our findings and recommendations as a result of this investigation.
