Sounds like a highly technical PR guy to me. Wearing many hats.
It’s a tough job. Probably minimal staff but loads of consultants.
Hopefully he knows that confusing the end used is not the same as having a secure system. The password craziness must stop! Too many passwords and they are changed too often. I have a few online investment and bank accounts and they are much easier to work with.
An employee told me that the system works because no one has hacked the system. I told her that the hackers are looking for information and money, two things that the Ridgewood Education website do not have. The hackers cannot be bothered with the Ridgewood school system.
